Package: distributed-net
Version: 2.9107.516-1
Severity: grave
Tags: patch
User: [email protected]
Usertags: shell-fallout
In base-passwd 3.5.30, I changed daemon's shell to /usr/sbin/nologin (a
change that I really should have made about ten years ago). This has
unfortunately had a bit of collateral damage:
Setting up distributed-net (2.9107.516-1) ...
Configuring the distributed.net client...
Note that when it is run as a daemon (via /etc/init.d/distributed-net),
the output will be redirected to /var/log/distributed-net.log.
You do not need to set up a log file.

dpkg: error processing distributed-net (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
My apologies for this. It's fortunately easily fixable:
* Pass "-s /bin/sh" to "su daemon" to cope with the change of daemon's
shell in base-passwd 3.5.30.
