Bug Description

I'm getting below error when installing minidlna. I get the same problem in adduser during mediatomb installation and ssh installation. Please let me know if there is a workaround on this.

Unpacking minidlna (from .../minidlna_1.0.24+dfsg-1_amd64.deb) ...
adduser: `/usr/sbin/useradd -d /var/lib/minidlna -g minidlna -s /usr/sbin/nologin -u 115 minidlna' returned error code 1. Exiting.
