Subject firebird binary installs and debian 10 - unattended-upgrades deleted firebird user
Author

Hi list .

Since february I'm using debian 10 for a try (as a server) .

All firebird installs I do, are from binaries downloaded from firebirsql.org .


I don't use unattended-upgrades package because I'm not familiar with it .


I found today that firebird didn't start . After some research I found firebird user was not there  but firebird group was.


Manual debian upgrades, sometimes ask me if firebird user can be deleted to which I answer NO.


Seems unattended-upgrades don't ask, or should be configured properly .

I just created firebird user again and recreate permission on files / directories and it started fine.


And unattended-upgrades is now gone.
