I was trying to reinstall dbus and it fails Unpacking dbus (1.8.20-1) over (1.8.20-1) ... Setting up dbus (1.8.20-1) ... chown: messagebus: illegal user name dpkg: error processing package dbus (--install): and helpfully suggests that I reinstall passwd-message bus. However that fails in trying to modify the entry for user messagebus. So, I deleted the user “messagebus” (sudo dscl . delete /Users/messagebus) and then reinstall passwd-mesagebus (sudo fink reinstall passwd-messagebus) I figured the would fix the issue. BUT it remains. For some reason the user “messagebus” created by fink is not eligible to be used as an argument to chown. NOT sure what system update caused this issue. But I can not even manually use “chown messagebus” on a file. Obviously there needs to be an additional property set? The messagebus record looks Ok to me. But something is wrong. % dscl . read /Users/messagebus dsAttrTypeNative:accountPolicyData: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>creationTime</key> <real>1675639733.5092769</real> </dict> </plist> dsAttrTypeNative:record_daemon_version: 8602000 AppleMetaNodeLocation: /Local/Default GeneratedUID: 9332DA09-E597-476C-AE6F-95E392473D0C NFSHomeDirectory: /opt/sw/var/run/dbus Password: * PrimaryGroupID: 113 RealName: messagebus (dbus) daemon,,, RecordName: messagebus RecordType: dsRecTypeStandard:Users UniqueID: 613 UserShell: /dev/null % I would also like to note that dbus1.3-shlibs is listed as version 1.8.20. Which seems weird. -Scott _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list [email protected] List archive: https://sourceforge.net/p/fink/mailman/fink-users/ Subscription management: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
