Installing openhab2 snapshot from repository on raspberry pi fails

Hi,

I am having a look at openhab due to it's zwave support and homebridge bindings (thus allowing motion sensor integration with homekit). Having followed the instructions on installing openhab2 on a raspbeery pi I encountered the following error:

pi@homepi:~ $ sudo apt-get install openhab2-online
Reading package lists... Done

The following NEW packages will be installed:

It appears that there is a problem with the pre-installation script, but I am unable to identify it. Here is what is currently in the script:

#!/bin/sh

set -e

UD_CACHE=/var/lib/openhab2/cache
UD_TMP=/var/lib/openhab2/tmp

removeCache(){
    [ -d ${UD_CACHE} ] && rm -rf ${UD_CACHE}
    [ -d ${UD_TMP} ] && rm -rf ${UD_TMP}
}

case "$1" in
        install)
        removeCache
                OH_USER=openhab
                OH_GROUP=openhab
                if [ x"${USER_AND_GROUP}" != x ]; then
                        OH_USER=`echo ${USER_AND_GROUP} | cut -d ":" -f 1`
                        OH_GROUP=`echo ${USER_AND_GROUP} | cut -d ":" -f 2`
                fi
                if ! getent group "$OH_GROUP" > /dev/null 2>&1 ; then
                        addgroup --system "$OH_GROUP" --quiet
                fi
                if ! getent passwd "$OH_USER" > /dev/null 2>&1 ; then
                        adduser --quiet --system --ingroup "$OH_GROUP" --no-create-home \
                        --disabled-password --shell /bin/false \
                        --gecos "openhab2 runtime user" --home /var/lib/openhab2 "$OH_USER"
                fi
                ;;
esac

I am running a current version of raspbian on a raspberry pi 3 with all the latest updates and have followed the instructions as stated above.
