Package: bitlbee-common Version: 3.4.1-1 Severity: normal Hello,
I've ran into a minor problem when I installed bitlbee. In normal setups it should not occur, but it should also be relatively easy to fix. On the system I was working on we previously migrated all user accounts from the previous installation. So now when I installed bitlbee it did not create a new bitlbee user because there was already one from the previous installation. But we did not migrate the /var/lib/bitlbee directory, and so after the failed user creation postinst tried to chmod a directory that wasn't there so that failed too hard for postinst to go on. Everything worked after I created the directory by hand. For a fix there should probably a test if the directory exists before the chmod. But as I said there should not be many people who should run into this problem. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.3.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.utf8 (charmap=locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) Versions of packages bitlbee-common depends on: ii adduser 3.113+nmu3 ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.58 ii net-tools 1.60+git20150829.73cef8a-2 bitlbee-common recommends no packages. bitlbee-common suggests no packages. -- Configuration Files: /etc/bitlbee/bitlbee.conf changed [not included] -- debconf information excluded
