I don't believe it's an exact duplicate. I received the same error msg
described above. Ensuring the TFTP_DIRECTORY existed did not fix the
problem.
To diagnose it further, I examined file /var/lib/dpkg/info/tftpd-hpa.postrm On
or about line 22 I deleted the --quiet so it now reads:
deluser --system ${TFTP_USERNAME}
Now when I try to remove the tftpd-hpa package, the error dump includes "The
user `nobody' is not a system user. Exiting.
"
This suggests that the postrm script is erroneously trying to remove the
'nobody' user, which is what I had set TFTP_USERNAME to in the tftpd-hpa
config file.
I next commented out the "deluser ..." line. The package removal now
proceeds without errors.
