Package: fetchmail
Version: 6.2.5-12
Severity: important
When trying to install fetchmail on my system using apt-get install
fetchmail or aptitude I get the following error:
<-- SNIP -->
chown: `fetchmail:nogroup': invalid user
dpkg: error processing fetchmail (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
fetchmail
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
<-- SNIP -->
I also tried to install the 6.2.5-13 package on this system as 6.2.5-13
works on my etch laptop, but it didn't work here. Basically it
obviously seems to be some sort of problem with it not adding the
fetchmail user.
So whether this is a package bug or just a quirk on my system, any
suggestions for a work around? Obviously simply adding fetchmail to
/etc/passwd and /etc/shadow should do it, but I don't quite understand
the numbering scheme in /etc/shadow, so I don't want to mess anything
up.
Thanks for the help in advance.
