You have an old package, uninstalled but not purged, and its postrm script will remove, on purge, a system user that your new package needs. Additionally, you have a daemon running under that user. You purge the old package, the user goes away while the daemon is running. And you don't see the problem ? I won't even mention the horrible adduser-in-initscript hack. Though a couple of DDs on IRC had a good laugh with that, once they were done screaming.
