Thanks for the work Jamie, I'm subbing ubuntu-sru as requested. ** Description changed:
[Impact] + + Trousers users need to reboot (or restart udev) in order to fully + complete configuration of the package. Worse, the install fails and + prompts to open this bug with apport. [Fix] + First, the problem. Though udev watches their rules files and re-reads + them whenever something new is added, it does _not_ monitor when new + users are groups are added to the system. We're left with: + + Jul 31 21:21:46 neptune udevd[409]: specified user 'tss' unknown + Jul 31 21:21:46 neptune udevd[409]: specified group 'tss' unknown + + The fix is to explicitly restart udev. This causes udev to reread users + and groups and allows the initscript to start. + [Test Case] + 1) make sure there is no tss user/group + 2) apt-get install tpm-tools + [Regression Potential] + + Very small. udevadm control --reload-rules is a benign command and we + have it in other packages already.
