Hi,

/var/lib/dpkg/info/incus-base.postinst: 34: usermod: not found
dpkg: error processing package incus-base (--configure):
 old incus-base package postinst maintainer script subprocess failed with exit status 127
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of incus:
 incus depends on incus-base (= 7.0.1-6); however:
  Package incus-base is not configured yet.

Please add a dependency on passwd.

Cheers Jochen

Depending on passwd should be enough.
