The postinst script for mongodb 2.4.9 has the following:
grep -q mongodb will succeed if any user exists that has "mongodb" as part of its name. In regex parlance, the grep is not anchored. In particular, if the mongodb-mms-backup-agent package is installed first, it will create a mongodb-mms-agent user. Then if mongodb is installed after, it will fail to create a mongodb user as grep -q mongodb will match on mongodb-mms-agent. You might consider running /usr/bin/id mongodb >/dev/null 2>&1 and checking the return code. |

After a careful backlog refinement, the team decided to close this ticket because of its low priority and limited resource capacity. If you believe that this ticket requires additional attention from the team and should be re-opened, feel free to change the status to "Needs Scheduling" and ping me or @alexander.neben |
