[Pkg-bareos-devel] Bug#901046: bareos-database-common: fails to configure/setup postgres database on fresh installation

[Michael Prokop]

Package: bareos-database-common
Version: 16.2.4-3+deb9u2
Severity: important

Hi,

on a minimal + fresh Debian/stretch system with just:

  % sudo apt install bareos

and using the provided debconf defaults the installation procedure
fails within the debconf setup/installation procedure of the
database, caused by:

  chown: invalid user: postgres

Obvious workaround is to install the postgresql package *before*
bareos.

regards,
