Hi Gennaro, * Chris Hofstaedtler <zeha@debian.org> [2025-05-02 11:00]:
Your package has a preinst maintainer script, calling adduser. At the same
time, your package Depends: adduser, but does not Pre-Depends: adduser.
Installing your package fails when adduser is not yet configured.
Reproducer:
$ mmdebstrap --variant=essential --include=slurm-wlm-basic-plugins unstable /dev/null
...
Selecting previously unselected package slurm-wlm-basic-plugins.
Preparing to unpack .../32-slurm-wlm-basic-plugins_24.11.3-2_arm64.deb ...

You may consider replacing adduser with a sysusers fragment, see
https://manpages.debian.org/unstable/debhelper/dh_installsysusers.1.en.html
Otherwise, please Pre-Depend on adduser.
Any reason why you did not cover this bug in your recent upload? I assume that adding the Pre-Depend will not have any side effects.
If you don't have time to work on it I do a NMU in the coming days. Cheers Jochen
