** Description changed: Binary package hint: tomcat6 In cases where the tomcat6 group already exists (eg ldap), the postinst fails due to running addgroup blindly.

In fact if the group exists but is not a system group (100-999), addgroup returns 1. I'll add a getent group tomcat6 check to check for group existence before running addgroup. ** Changed in: tomcat6 (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Triaged ** Changed in: server-papercuts Status: Incomplete => In Progress -- postinst fails if group exists https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/611721 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 611721] Re: postinst fails if group exists
Lucid, up to date with security patches (and sun-java, not that it matters for this.) I suspect the difference is ldap authentication vs local groups. (In fact, I just tested against a group that it is in both /etc/group and in ldap and it returned 0.)

Hm, here is what I get if tomcat6 is already created: $ sudo addgroup --system tomcat6 --quiet ; echo $? 0 Something else makes it fail, what does "sudo addgroup --system tomcat6 ; echo $?" return for you ?

I can't reproduce that. If the group already exists, "addgroup --system tomcat6 --quiet" returns 0 and the script proceeds.
