Package: amavisd-new
Version: 1:2.6.1.dfsg-1
Severity: normal
If this package is purged and reinstalled, the reinstall fails because
the amavis user's home directory is deleted, but the amavis user and
group are not.
# dpkg --configure amavisd-new
Setting up amavisd-new (1:2.5.3-1ubuntu3) ...
Creating/updating amavis user account...
Broken amavis system user found. To insure data-safety,
it is up to you the local administrator to remove the broken
amavis user, or repair it so that it is sane
dpkg: error processing amavisd-new (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
amavisd-new
PS: "ensure" is misspelled, there are missing commas, and there is no
period at the end of the sentence.
As a resolution to #431853, simply leaving a broken user and group
lying around is *not* sensible. It would be better to call deluser,
but succeed on error 127 (deluser not found). The attached patch
demonstrates this. Note that this approach is taken by many other
packages: bitlbee, ntp, openssh-server, logcheck, dnsmasq and
dhcp3-client, on my system.
I note that bitlbee and ntp, at least, happily call deluser in the
postrm script. If leaving users around was the solution
