Hi Andreas, Thanks for the bug report.
It is not clear to me what is causing the issue as there is no postrm action/file in the caml-crush-server package that remove files or the dedicated user/group. Hence, I don't understand how piuparts can trigger this error. When manually calling "dpkg -P caml-crush-server", the /var/lib/pkcs11proxyd directory stays owned by the users created at post-install on my machine. Could it be an artifact or am I missing something from the log you sent?
