Perhaps this is related to the change in August 2005 where the > package's postinst was dropped and the package no longer creates a user? Thank you for taking time to test firebird packages. Your analysis is correct, firebird2-examples in sarge creates a user and /var/lib/firebrid is that user's home directory. This directory is not part of package's files so it is not removed on package removal. The real problem is that firebird2-examples has no need at all to create this user. In unstable packages, firebird user is created by firebird2-*-server packages which also contain firebird's home directory and thus does not suffer from this problem. I am not sure how to fix the problem. May I ask you for your comments on the following approaches? 1) prepare an update for the package in sarge - make it not create the firebird user for firebrid2-examples * I don't like this, since the bug doesn't seem so critical as to deserve an update in sarge 2) make firebird2-examples in sid remove /var/lib/firebird if it is empty. * Seems like a workaround, but would fix the piuparts tests for firebird2-examples. I'd go with 2), but sill be grateful for your opinion.
