You're not asking me to do that, right?
Yes, of course I am. Those numbers are reserved for the system, and some package might be using it. Unlikely, but possible.
FWIW, it is rather "hard" to add 2 users with the same UID. You'd have to know to include either -o or --non-unique to the adduser command.
Even so, glitches can happen and it only takes a few seconds to check.
You'd also need a deliberate act to add user's with UID of less than 1000 since the default is not to create users with UID of greater than 1000. Unless, this is an upgraded system. I've not tried any of the various GUI to see if one can force lower numbers.
Well, you managed, didn't you? And I'm concerned about the possibility that a package created that account for valid reasons, but it's now causing a conflict.
