Package: onionbalance
Version: 0.2.0-3
Severity: important
[This is actually 0.2.0-3~bpo10+1 ]
The onionbalance package tries to remove the role user on purge.
Whether or not that is even desirable is a different question (I am of
the strong opinion that users should not be removed).
However, it fails even at that.
First time purging:
} Removing user `onionbalance' ...
} Warning: group `onionbalance' has no more members.
} userdel: user onionbalance is currently used by process 2689
} /usr/sbin/deluser: `/usr/sbin/userdel onionbalance' returned error code 8.
Exiting.
} dpkg: error processing package onionbalance (--purge):
So I make sure that no processes are run by that user, but now:
} /usr/sbin/deluser: The user `onionbalance' is not a member of group
`debian-tor'.
} dpkg: error processing package onionbalance (--purge):
And the package can no longer be purged. (without modifying the maintainer
script.)
I'd get rid of the whole deluser stuff.
