Package: mini-buildd Version: 1.0.5 Severity: important Hi,
I finally tried updating mini-buildd 0.9.5 to the current unstable version on my build machine. The postinst obviously tried calling usermod to change the home directory, which tried renaming /home/mini-buildd to /var/lib/mini-buildd. That didn't work, most probably because my /home is on a different file system than /var: Setting up mini-buildd (1.0.5) ... Adding group `mini-buildd' (GID 118) ... Done. usermod: cannot rename directory /home/mini-buildd to /var/lib/mini-buildd dpkg: error processing package mini-buildd (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 12 Errors were encountered while processing: mini-buildd E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) Failed to perform requested operation on package. Trying to recover: Setting up mini-buildd (1.0.5) ... addgroup: The group `mini-buildd' already exists as a system group. Exiting. usermod: no changes usermod: no changes The user `mini-buildd' is already a member of `sbuild'. Setting admin password...mini-buildd FAILED: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/lib/mini-buildd' dpkg: error processing package mini-buildd (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: mini-buildd Press Return to continue. Trying to do a manual copy didn't work as well since my /var was not big enough for the 6 GB /home/mini-buildd. In my opinion, mini-buildd should not try to move its home directory on a package upgrade. It's fine to use the new /var/lib location for new installs, but an upgrade script cannot foresee possible pitfalls in moving the home directory (and, frankly, yours doesn't even try to check).
