Package: ganglia-monitor
Version: 3.7.2-7
Severity: serious
User: [email protected]
Usertag: toolchain
Your package has a preinst maintainer script, calling adduser. At the same
time, your package Depends: adduser, but does not Pre-Depends: adduser.
Also, the preinst silently ignores failures from adduser (with
"2>/dev/null || true").
As a result, the dpkg-statoverride call after adduser fails.
Reproducer:
$ mmdebstrap --variant=essential --include=ganglia-monitor unstable /dev/null
...
Selecting previously unselected package ganglia-monitor.
Preparing to unpack .../20-ganglia-monitor_3.7.2-7_arm64.deb ...
dpkg-statoverride: error: user 'ganglia' does not exist
dpkg: error processing archive
/tmp/apt-dpkg-install-rKdVwf/20-ganglia-monitor_3.7.2-7_arm64.deb (--unpack):

exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
/tmp/apt-dpkg-install-rKdVwf/20-ganglia-monitor_3.7.2-7_arm64.deb
E: Sub-process env returned an error code (1)
You may consider replacing adduser with a sysusers fragment, see
https://manpages.debian.org/unstable/debhelper/dh_installsysusers.1.en.html
Otherwise, please Pre-Depend on adduser.
Best,
Chris
