[Bug 311277] Re: amavisd-new broken user (again) Intrepid
This bug also affects amavisd-new version 2.5.3-1ubuntu3 in Hardy. Could it be possible to fix the LTS release version too ?

[Bug 311277] Re: amavisd-new broken user (again) Intrepid
Debian's solution was to remove the user on purge. I've merged that into Jaunty, so this is 'fixed' there. * Remove amavis user and group on purge (Closes: #495629) ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #495629 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=495629 ** Also affects: amavisd-new (Debian) via http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=495629 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Changed in: amavisd-new (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = Medium Status: Incomplete = Fix Released -- amavisd-new broken user (again) Intrepid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/311277 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to amavisd-new in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

[Bug 311277] Re: amavisd-new broken user (again) Intrepid
Sorry, it is a very bad practice to remove system users on package purge. There might still be files or processes left which belong to that user, and the next time you install a package which creates a new system user, that new one would suddenly inherit those files/processes. Instead, the installation should be made more robust, so that an already existing user is just checked that it has correct properties (system user, etc.) ** Changed in: amavisd-new (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged = Incomplete -- amavisd-new broken user (again) Intrepid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/311277 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to amavisd-new in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

Understood that patches should foremost be submitted to the development release of Ubuntu. Hence, I'm submitting a new debdiff; this one against the Jaunty version. ** Attachment added: amavisd-new_2.6.2-0ubuntu2.debdiff http://launchpadlibrarian.net/21884416/amavisd-new_2.6.2-0ubuntu2.debdiff -- amavisd-new broken user (again) Intrepid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/311277 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to amavisd-new in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

Having looked at the Debian bugs that lead to this code, I'm not sure just dropping it the best answer. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=367807 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=190414 It seems to me we could get the same result by removing the user on purge and that would be safer. ** Changed in: amavisd-new (Ubuntu) Assignee: Scott Kitterman (kitterman) = (unassigned) Status: In Progress = Triaged -- amavisd-new broken user (again) Intrepid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/311277 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to amavisd-new in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
[Bug 311277] Re: amavisd-new broken user (again) Intrepid
I can confirm this problem in Intrepid. Doing a full purge of amavisd- new doesn't remove the user amavis, hence causing the reinstall of amavisd-new to fail. I can confirm the same problem in Hardy. ** Changed in: amavisd-new (Ubuntu) Status: New = Confirmed -- amavisd-new broken user (again) Intrepid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/311277 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to amavisd-new in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
[Bug 311277] Re: amavisd-new broken user (again) Intrepid
The problem isn't that purge doesn't remove the user (this is normal). The problem is the continued presence of old transitional code that is no longer needed. ** Changed in: amavisd-new (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Triaged -- amavisd-new broken user (again) Intrepid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/311277 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to amavisd-new in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
