mark adduser as Protected:yes (!86) · Merge requests · Debian / adduser

Johannes Schauer Marin Rodrigues requested to merge protected_yes into master May 16, 2023

apt dropped its dependency on adduser in October 2022 but eight source packages still require adduser in their maintainer script for a purge removal. To prevent packages from becoming unpurgable in Trixie, mark adduser as Protected:yes. This will prevent adduser from accidentally getting removed. In Trixie+1, this field can be removed.
