Operating System: All <br/> Platform: All MB-2506

Error on Ubuntu installation around groupadd/useradd

I&#39;m thinking it may be a particular dependency within the Ubuntu system...or perhaps an older OS. wondering why there is a double &quot;.deb.deb&quot; suffix?<br/> <br/> northscale-server_1.6.0beta4_x86_64.deb.deb I don&#39;t think that&#39;s causing a problem, though it was throwing me off too. Looks like the workaround fixed the issue even with the double &#39;.deb&#39; I don&#39;t get this error when I install latest build 1.6.0beta4-84 on 2 ubuntu 9.04 64bit. Thanks Tony. Can you try the beta 4 released build? I&#39;d like to make sure that we are actually reproducing the problem and now working around it some other way. I install beta4 release build on ubuntu 9.04 64bit server and I can not reproduce this error.<br/> <a href="http://screencast.com/t/9uisV1lC">http://screencast.com/t/9uisV1lC</a> Thanks Tony. So again, we need to reproduce the error so we can tell whether it&#39;s been fixed or not. I suspect there is something else at work here, can you try on Ubuntu 8.x? I can reproduce the groupadd: invalid option --r error on ubuntu 8.04 64bit.<br/> But not the double &quot;.deb.deb&quot;<br/> <a href="http://screencast.com/t/2C75u9psbsR">http://screencast.com/t/2C75u9psbsR</a> I install beta4 release build on ubuntu 10.04 64bit server and I can not<br/> reproduce this error. So I think it only happens in ubuntu 8.04 64bit version<br/> <a href="http://screencast.com/t/grlKFqQq4gY6">http://screencast.com/t/grlKFqQq4gY6</a> tagged: releasenotes Resolving as incomplete because we need to get more information before we can fix - suspect older Ubuntu version. Not sure what &quot;more information&quot; is needed. This was reproduced. Yes, it is on an unsupported version but it is still a bug. We don&#39;t care about that much old OSes anymore Date of First Response Sat, 9 Oct 2010 18:26:26 -0500 Flagged Rank 947 Release Version History Time In Status
