This does not make sense, the adduser call has not been changed for
ages. Please run in a root console:

adduser --quiet --system --group --no-create-home --home /var/cache/apt-cacher-ng apt-cacher-ng
echo $?
which adduser

and post the output of the commands above.

Regards,
Eduard.

Hi Eduard,

thanks for your reply.

The output produced is:
root@internal-services:~# adduser --quiet --system --group 
--no-create-home --home /var/cache/apt-cacher-ng apt-cacher-ng
adduser: The user `apt-cacher-ng' already exists. Exiting.
root@internal-services:~# echo $?
1
root@internal-services:~# which adduser
/usr/sbin/adduser

Hope this helps?

Maybe, after checking up with adduser developers, there is a theory.

Do you remember when the package has been installed initially?
Could you show the user information for this account, i.e. run:

getent passwd apt-cacher-ng

Or just check the UID, if the UID is outside of the reserved range
(100-999) then something went wrong before. You could try to change the
UIDs or simply delete this account (man deluser) and then recreate it as
system-user with the command mentioned before. And afterwards, you
would need to adapt the permissions of the files to the new UID which
the "new" account got assigned afterwards (i.e. like: chown -R NEWUID
/var/cache/apt-cacher-ng /etc/apt-cacher-ng /var/log/apt-cacher-ng ).

Regards,
Eduard.

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

sry, i just send the reply to eduard, not the bugs list, therefore here
again:

Ahh great, that seems to be the problem.
The user has the User-ID 25001 as I use an nfs share for the Cache and had
to move the user to this UID.

Is there a change to get apt-cacher-ng running and updating with this UID
or do I have to modify my whole NFS setup?
i just deleted the apt-cacher-ng user and recreated it with a lower UID,
afterwards the upgrade worked fine. Thank you for your help!

clone 706382 -1
retitle -1 Recreating a system user fails when its UID is out of range
reassign -1 adduser
severity -1 minor
thanks

As discussed, the error handling in this case needs some improvement. As
least there should be a meaningful error message telling where the
error originated.

And/or it maybe should not be an error whatsoever, i.e. when the account
exists then there is no need to recreate it.

Regards,
Eduard.
