Robert Newson resolved COUCHDB-1096.
------------------------------------
Resolution: Invalid
This has been fixed in an earlier release but _users/_design/_auth is not
automatically updated if present. Delete it and restart couch to get the latest
version.
> HTTP DELETE method not working for documents in _users database
> ---------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: COUCHDB-1096
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1096
> Project: CouchDB
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: HTTP Interface
> Affects Versions: 1.0.2
> Environment: CouchDBX 1.0.2
> Reporter: Paul Mietz Egli
>
> Clicking on the "Delete Document" button when viewing a document in the
> _users database results in a popup that says "The document could not be
> deleted: doc.type must be user". The log shows a DELETE request to the
> proper document URL (with rev) and a 403 error. To determine if the problem
> was limited to Futon, I double checked with curl as follows:
> curl -X DELETE
> http://admin:password@localhost:5984/_users/org.couchdb.user:myusername?rev=3-24475d94a04d4518675303bb949e4e6b
> {"error":"forbidden","reason":"doc.type must be user"}
> It appears that the problem is that the _deleted document property isn't
> being set prior to the call to the validate function defined in
> couch_js_functions.hrl.
> The workaround for deleting a user document is to set "_deleted" : "true" on
> the doc.
