Is the quick fix to just create dbmail user and group (user settings?)

Ever find a fix?

This is a known problem with the 2.2.3 package in debian/testing. A debian bug
has been filed against this yesterday.

The 2.2.4 packages fixed this, but my sponsor hasn't responded to my request for
upload.

You can add a line to apt.conf:

deb http://debian.nfgd.net/debian unstable main

or wait for 2.2.4 (or 2.2.5) to be uploaded into debian/unstable.


And yes, running:

addgroup --system dbmail
adduser --system --ingroup dbmail --home /dev/null --shell /bin/false dbmail

before installing will also solve this.



I tried the sources.list change (sure it's supposed to be in apt.conf?)
and for some reason I couldn't get aptitude or apt-get to find the unstable branch. 'apt-get install -t unstable dbmail...' only found 2.2.3.

I'll have to check with the debian mailing list to see what I did wrong.

However I did run the addgroup/adduser changes and that appears to have done the trick.
