doesn’t seem to be a big deal as /var/lib/openfire gets owned by the openfire user in the end.
I have the same error as @latchkey. This error appears when installing OpenFire 3.6.4 on Debian Lenny 5 :
ServerOne:/home/anzar# dpkg -i openfire_3.6.4_all.deb

To solve half of the problem, I found a solution on this link (please read the comments too )
It is a patch to get rid of the message : warning: /etc/init.d/openfire missing LSB information
But I don’t know how to solve the problem of rights : “adduser: Warning: The home directory `/var/lib/openfire’ does not belong to the user you are currently creating.”
May be i have to make /var/lib/openfire belonging to the user openfire ?
Any suggestion will be welcome
chown -R openfire.openfire /directory/name
that should change the owner ship to the openfire user and group recursivley
I have the same warning in Ubuntu 9.10 Server, so I apply the patch and change the permission in directory with chown, with this work for me!
