Title:
  setfacl shows wrong message: "Invalid argument" when the problem is
  about existance of username

Status in acl package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  in Ubuntu 18.04 the following command has a wrong output as shown:
  #sudo setfacl -d -m u:apache:rwx /var/www/
  setfacl: Option -m: Invalid argument near character 3

  But the exact problem is about username which should be for example in this case: www-data
  Output of setacl is supposed to be something like: "the user apache does not exist"
