Stéfane Fermigier updated NXP-5323:
-----------------------------------

    Description: 
Purging the packages (both DM and DAM) apparently doesn't remove the entries 
from /etc/passwd and /etc/group, which will make subsequent re-installation 
fail.

See: 
http://crashcourse.ca/blog/2010/07/new-nuxeo-dam-snapshot-ubuntu-looking-good

Also: 

"some definite package installation and removal strangeness happening, which is 
going to cause some level of grief trying to install, remove and re-install 
packages, which is something that should be perfectly acceptable behaviour. 
Theoretically, simply installing and uninstalling a package over and over 
should be a perfectly safe operation, but doing it with the Nuxeo DAM package 
leaves some lingering after-effects that make subsequent re-installation 
problematic."

-> We need to check that if we install / uninstall / reinstall everything is OK.
