Bug#307672: Can't purge dcc-common if LDAP is used
package dcc-common tags 307672 + patch stop commands here Did adduser manage to add the dcc user and group for you? adduser doesn't add the user if is already exists. That doesn't answer the question. The postrm script won't try to remove the users if they are already removed, so you should remove the dcc user and group from LDAP *before* doing the --purge and there would be no error. Did adduser add the dcc user and group for you, or did you add it yourself? I think that dcc should warn it couldn't remove the user and group if the adduser commands can't, but not fail. I'm mildly concerned that usermod is used instead of moduser in postinst. I also think your system is misconfigured (but that doesn't excuse dcc-common failing to remove) and you should add files back into nsswitch if you want debian packages to install and purge without sysadmin intervention. Here's a udiff.

The system uses LDAP as NSS backend. Reading policy 9.2.2, it says to use adduser, so probably deluser and delgroup are the equivalent, instead of groupdel. Does delgroup work for you? -- MJR/slef http://people.debian.org/~mjr/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
