@anticapitalista this error seems to persist on beta2 as well

Can be resolved with
sudo useradd -r _runit-log -s /sbin/nologin

Any chance this user creation can be handled at build time?
Alternatively we can update the boot-module’s postinst script to handle this user creation
eg

# ensuring user _runit-log exists 
		if id -u _runit-log >/dev/null 2>&1 ; then 
		echo "User '_runit-log' already exists"
		else useradd -r _runit-log -s /bin/nologin >/dev/null 2>&1
		fi

Thoughts?

That comes from one runit-service script – I think runit-service-acpid.
Technically _runit-log is not needed and almost all our runit-service debs do not include it.
Having it the boot-module’s postinst script won’t do any harm.

Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.

antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.
