Subject: puppetmaster fails to start: puppet user missing

Date: Mon, 15 Feb 2010 15:37:41 -0500

Package: puppetmaster
Severity: normal

While trying to install puppetmaster *without* the puppet package the
puppetmaster daemon failed to start:

Setting up puppetmaster (0.25.4-1ubuntu1) ...
chown: invalid user: `puppet:puppet'
 * Starting puppet configuration management tool master server
 * Could not prepare for execution: Got 6 failure(s) while initializing:

The puppet user and group are created as part of the puppet postinst
script. This should probably be moved to the puppet-common package instead.

Thank you for the bug report.  I've upgraded the severity level of this
bug to "serious" and will release an updated package shortly.
