Package: dovecot-core Version: 1:2.2.31-1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
I attempted to uprade my dovecot installation from 1:2.2.30.2-1 to 1:2.2.31-1, and it failed during the configuration phase. Output from the dpkg unpacking: Preparing to unpack .../040-dovecot-core_1%3a2.2.31-1_amd64.deb ... Unpacking dovecot-core (1:2.2.31-1) over (1:2.2.30.2-1) ... After the initial apt run failed to configure the new dovecot packages, I tried to do the configuration again. The first portion of the logs from that follow: 1141$ sudo dpkg --configure -a Setting up dovecot-core (1:2.2.31-1) ... adduser: The user `dovecot' already exists. Exiting. dpkg: error processing package dovecot-core (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 I have worked around this locally by commenting out the calls to adduser in the postinst script. -- Package-specific info: -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages dovecot-core depends on: ii adduser 3.115 ii init-system-helpers 1.48 ii libbz2-1.0 1.0.6-8.1 ii libc6 2.24-12 ii libexttextcat-2.0-0 3.4.4-2+b1 ii liblz4-1 0.0~r131-2+b1 ii liblzma5 5.2.2-1.2+b1 ii libpam-runtime 1.1.8-3.6 ii libpam0g 1.1.8-3.6 ii libssl1.1 1.1.0f-3 ii libstemmer0d 0+svn585-1+b2 ii libwrap0 7.6.q-26 ii lsb-base 9.20161125 ii openssl 1.1.0f-3 ii ssl-cert 1.0.39 ii ucf 3.0036 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-5 dovecot-core recommends no packages.
