Package: rageircd
Version: 2.0.1-4
Severity: normal
dpkg --purge rageircd fails due to a bug in the postrm script.
# dpkg --purge rageircd
(Reading database ... 33339 files and directories currently installed.)
Removing rageircd ...
Purging configuration files for rageircd ...
Removing system user
Unknown option: home
/usr/sbin/deluser: The user `/var/run/rageircd' does not exist.
dpkg: error processing rageircd (--purge):
subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
rageircd
The offending line in the postrm script is line 17:
deluser --home /var/run/rageircd --remove-home --system $USERNAME
deluser does not take a --home option.
Obviously a savvy enough user can merely dpkg --remove rageircd and then
remove the user and its directories manually, but still, this seems like
a pretty big oversight.
