This bug also affects amavisd-new version 2.5.3-1ubuntu3 in Hardy. Could
it be possible to fix the LTS release version too ?
Thanks

Debian's solution was to remove the user on purge. I've merged that
into Jaunty, so this is 'fixed' there.

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
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.

It seems to me we could get the same result by removing the user on
purge and
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.

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.
