Thanks for reporting this bug. It looks like general consensus is that packages should not delete system users they create, even on purge:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2012/02/msg01100.html In particular, http://bugs.debian.org/621833 is a bug against Debian Policy to clarify that packages must not do this. (Currently Policy does not say anything either way.) There are some arguments in that bug report as to why that approach seems to be preferred. Therefore, I am closing this bug as invalid. ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #621833 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=621833 ** Changed in: timidity (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/753590 Title: timidity user is not deleted when purging timidity-daemon To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/timidity/+bug/753590/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
