I recently started experimenting with Trisquel, and noticed the following warnings (starred lines) when I installed virt-manager from the command line (sudo apt install virt-manager).

...
Setting up swtpm-tools (0.7.3-0ubuntu5.24.1)...
info: Selecting GID from range 100 to 999
info: Adding group `swtpm' (GID 1222) ...
* info: The home dir /var/lib/swtpm you specified can't be accessed: No such file or directory

info: Selecting UID from range 100 to 999 ...

info: Adding system user `swtpm (UID 115) ...

and a few lines later

Setting up libvirt-daemon-system (10.0.0-2ubuntu8.16)...
* useradd warning: libvirt-qemu's uid 64055 is greater than SYS_UID_MAX 999
...

I'm guessing the first starred line simply means that software TPM will be unavailable, but the lines right around it show that the installer is sensitive to UID ranges.

The second starred line is more concerning, as it appears it gives a non-system UID to a system daemon user, but I don't know enough to truly judge this.

Should I file a bug report; if so where?
