[Debian-ha-maintainers] Bug#577965: Bug#577965: Bug#577965: fails to install when user ais already exists

[Thorsten Glaser]

Guido G?nther dixit:

>Could you check the other adduser call?

Empty Lenny system:

root at evolvis-pa:~ # adduser --quiet --group --system --no-create-home ais ; echo $?
0
root at evolvis-pa:~ # adduser --quiet --group --system --no-create-home ais ; echo $?
0

On the other hand, when the user already exists with a >1000 UID,
the call fails with --system, without --system and even without
--group (which also exists).

Not too sure what to do about this… Policy and Devref don’t tell
much either. It’s a corner case (upgrade from a previous hand-
installed version), I suppose, and not the fault of your package.
