Yes, the problem occurred on FreedomBox machines where logins for
regular users is disabled.

We have the following line in /etc/security/access.conf
"-:ALL EXCEPT root fbx plinth (admin) (sudo):ALL"

Removing that line allows for error free install (however, we need that
setup).

I can confirm that the "runuser" fix works.

Would be nice if you could upload the fix that has been committed.

Thanks for all the effort packaging quassel.
