Squid: error while installing

Hello all,

I tried installing squid and during installation it says error, but the files seems to be installed properly. The /etc/squid folder was created.

(1/1) checking keys in keyring                                                                                     [####################################################################] 100%

(1/1) loading package files                                                                                        [####################################################################] 100%

(1/1) installing squid                                                                                             [####################################################################] 100%
error: command failed to execute correctly

Why would that fail? Can I safely discard it ?

Re: Squid: error while installing

Try pacman -Qk squid to see if everything installed intact.

And squid.install from the ABS:

Re: Squid: error while installing

I updated squid to 3.4.8-1 about a week ago, and I don't remember seeing it (probably not payng that close attention).  Nothing shows error in pacman.log.

Sure, thanks for the tip.

Possibly this is an after-effect of that failure :

I tried 

~ » sudo systemctl status systemd-tmpfiles-setup

   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service; static)

That script is supposed to setup a user?. Is that all ?

That seems fine

Re: Squid: error while installing

squid needs proxy group and user.

That install file only specifies a post-install, not a post-upgrade.  Many install files have the same behavior for post-install and upgrade, but in this case, I think those commands would only run after the first time it was installed on a system (or after a full removal and reinstall).

Do I need to chown any files for that user or something like that?

Re: Squid: error while installing

This is a packaging bug: FS#42318.

Edit: Upgrading to squid 3.4.8-2 should create the missing user and work fine in general.
