I can't actually reproduce this properly: I get the following error message:
> [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/# dpkg --purge sfs-common
> (Reading database ... 10890 files and directories currently installed.)
> Removing sfs-common ...
> Document `sfs-manual' is not installed, cannot remove.
> Purging configuration files for sfs-common ...
> removing sfs system account...
> ls: /var/lib/sfs/sockets/: No such file or directory
> [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/# echo $?
> 0

In other words, the error message is different, and the removal doesn't crash
on it.
I don't know what causes this.
Still, the attached patch should fix it. I'm hesitant to actually do an NMU
before I can
reproduce. Jaakko, do you have a comment?
