Hello,
I face the same problem with recent Debian distribs both on Raspberry PI 3 (Raspbian) and Debian 64 bits (Stable)
After a lot of analysis, the problems seems to be due to a missing “admin” user entry in the LDAP database.
This missing entry is for sudo schema.

I don’t understand why this entry is not created.
I’ve checked my slapd.conf file which includes the /etc/ldap/schema/sudo.schema.

When looking at /var/log/yunohost/yunohost-cli.log, i’ve found the following error:

It seems that “sudoCommand” attribute is undefined in the LDAP.
I don’t understand why and i’ve not enough knowledge in ldap to solve this issue.

Any clue will be helpfull.

thanks to you.

I add a user in the debian system that i named “admin”. And then the postinstall work !

thanks bouba for your trick, but it’s not really an explanation of the issue:
On a standard yunohost installation, it’s not necessary to create this admin account in order to install the system properly (and this account is not created by yunohost).
That means that something went wrong during the installation.
And the most probable reason is related to the LDAP as i have already explained: the issue seems to be related to the trace “UNDEFINED_TYPE: {‘info’: ‘sudoCommand: attribute type undefined’, ‘desc’: ‘Undefined attribute type’}**”.

It would be nice to understand why and find a way to correct it.

Thank you.
