Package: sympa
Version: 4.1.5-2
Severity: normal

Hello,

I have just installed sympa for the first time and have noticed
that:

# getent passwd sympa
sympa:x:110:1002:Sympa mailing list manager:/var/lib/sympa:/bin/false
# getent group sympa
sympa:x:1002:

I think the GID should be the same that UID. This is due to
the lack of the '--system' option in the 'addgroup' command
in the postinst script:

# creating sympa group if he isn't already there
if ! grep -q ^sympa: /etc/group; then
        echo Adding system group: sympa.
        addgroup sympa
fi

It should be:

# creating sympa group if he isn't already there
if ! grep -q ^sympa: /etc/group; then
        echo Adding system group: sympa.
        addgroup --system sympa
fi

Hope this helps and thanks for your implication in Debian and FOSS.

Best regards,

-- 
Emmanuel
