Bug#381861: User asterisk still not created on fresh install

[Matthias Wamser]

Hi

on a fresh Install (i backported asterisk 1:1.4.3~dfsg-1 to etch)
the asterisk user is still not created.

Problem is, the script /usr/share/asterisk/bin/asterisk_fix
has no executable bit set and asterisk-config.postinst
does check this:

    configure)
        if [ -x /usr/share/asterisk/bin/asterisk_fix ]; then
                /usr/share/asterisk/bin/asterisk_fix
        fi

Depending on this bug the asterisk.postinst fails while starting
asterisk cause of the not existing user (and group)

As quick workaround the following works:

chmod +x /usr/share/asterisk/bin/asterisk_fix
dpkg-reconfigure asterisk-config


And a chmod +x asterisk_fix in your source package and
rebuilding it should fix the package.

Regards, Matthias
