Package: amavisd-new
Version: 1:2.4.0-1
Severity: normal

When I upgraded amavisd-new (don't know really when, some time ago when I
ran "apt-get dist-upgrade" on my testing/unstable box) I started getting
mails to root from cron:
/etc/cron.daily/amavisd-new:
No directory, logging in with HOME=/

I checked this out, it turned out that /etc/passwd had this line:
amavis:x:115:115::/var/spool/amavis-ng:/bin/false

I ran "dpgk-reconfigure amavisd-new", and it said that it was
adding/updating amavis user, however it didn't change the /etc/passwd line.
And, the /var/spool/amavis-ng directory does not exist (anymore).

WORKAROUND:
I manually removed the amavis user, and ran "dpgk-reconfigure amavisd-new".
Now a correct user was added.
