Description
Package upgrade from 1.559 to 1.560 on Debian systems fails with:
| dpkg: error processing jenkins (--configure): |
| subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 |
due to the:
| addgroup --system --quiet jenkins |
call in postinst without checking whether corresponding group already exists.
Problem introduced as of:
| commit 7216aab0d3f7215be7d71109936ad4b3aa0a583b |
| Author: Peter Eisentraut <peter@eisentraut.org> |

| debian: Use a configurable group for the Jenkins user |
| Typical Debian practice is to have one equally-named group per system |
| user. Make that for the jenkins user by default, but allow it to be |
| overridden in /etc/default/jenkins, same as for the user name. |
This change also deleted the check for the existing Jenkins user (for whatever reason, but that's also broken).
I'm working on a fix/PR right now.

Log:
Debian postinst: check for present user/group before adding them
In git commit 7216aab0d the check for present user was removed
and therefore upgrading the Debian package on existing Jenkins
installations fails. Also the newly added code for adding a
configurable Jenkins group is missing a check for a possibly
already present Jenkins group.
Closes: JENKINS-22710

Sorry about that. As you can now see from the changelog (upcoming changes), this'll only be fixed in 1.562.
