Package: sash
Version: 3.7-7.2
Severity: important
Hi,
I installed sash as part of some other dependency or recommends or
something.
My debconf priority default is "high", and so it created a "sashroot"
account by default, which I most _certainly_ did not want.
After learning that there were debconf options for this, I ran:
dpkg-reconfigure -plow sash
But no questions were asked. In fact, there seems to be no way to
force it to ask questions, because "/var/lib/dpkg/info/sash.config"
refuses to do anything if the "sashroot" account exists!
Furthermore you will notice that, with a debconf priority defaulting
to "high", the commands
apt-get install sash
apt-get --purge remove sash
on a fresh system will leave junk in /etc/passwd, which is just crap.
