After some more search I found that the "original" gzipped tar archive that is referenced in your new version accountsservice_0.6.35-0ubuntu7.1.dsc differs a lot from the xz-compressed "original" tar used by the old trusty version: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/accountsservice_0.6.35.orig.tar.xz
This is exactly the difference seen in the diff mentioned above. In the attached accountsservice_0.6.35-0ubuntu7.1.dsc I have just replaced all references to the dubios accountsservice_0.6.35.orig.tar.gz by the corresponding lines for accountsservice_0.6.35.orig.tar.xz as found in https://launchpadlibrarian.net/162749972/accountsservice_0.6.35-0ubuntu7.dsc (and removed the pgp signature). With this change the packag compiles cleanly and works as expected. @Robert: please use the working original tar.xz from the old package and repost the patch. Thanks. ** Attachment added: "accountsservice_0.6.35-0ubuntu7.1.dsc with corrected accountsservice_0.6.35.orig.tar.xz" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/accountsservice/+bug/1290785/+attachment/4149542/+files/accountsservice_0.6.35-0ubuntu7.1.dsc -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to accountsservice in Ubuntu.

This was not required in 12.04 LTS. In 12.04 LTS users were only hidden if they had UID < UID_MIN. In 13.10 this was changed to UID < UID_MIN or UID > UID_MAX. [Test Case] 1. Create a user with a UID > UID_MAX: $ adduser --uid 60001 big-uid 2. Restart system Expected result: "big-uid" is shown in the greeter. Once logged in "big-uid" is shown in system settings. Observed result: "big-uid" is not shown in the greeter (14.04 LTS, 14.10) "big-uid" is not shown in system settings (13.10, 14.04LTS, 14.10) [Regression Potential] This could cause users that were previously hidden to be shown. This seems unlikely to be a problem as all system created user accounts are less than UID_MIN and there doesn't seem be a convention to use accounts > UID_MAX for this case.
