Arch Linux

Description: Mpd user is not created during install of MPD.


Additional info:
* package version(s) 0.15.9-4
* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:

During a reinstall of Arch Linux and when installing MPD, the useradd help message printed out along with two chown errors. The mpd user was not created and /var/{lib,log}/mpd was still owned by root. I did a second clean install of Arch to be sure this was not a one time error.

I believe the problem is in line seven of .INSTALL, as the useradd command is missing the username to create at the very end of that line. Currently, it reads:

getent passwd "mpd" &>/dev/null || useradd -r -u 45 -g mpd -d "/var/lib/mpd" -s "/bin/true" -G "audio" 1>/dev/null

when, after consulting the useradd manpage, it probably should read:

getent passwd "mpd" &>/dev/null || useradd -r -u 45 -g mpd -d "/var/lib/mpd" -s "/bin/true" -G "audio" mpd 1>/dev/null

Please note that this would probably not effect upgrading users, only users initially install Mpd. When I did a third clean install of Arch, I created Mpd user prior to trying to install Mpd, it worked without any errors.
