I could reproduce the problem using piuparts /var/cache/apt/archives/ejabberd*deb. To figure out what piuparts was doing, I ran every command manually and checked at which step /root/.erlang.cookie gets created: $ debootstrap --variant=minbase --keyring=/usr/share/keyrings/debian-archive-keyring.gpg --include=eatmydata --components=main sid /tmp/manual http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian $ chroot /tmp/manual eatmydata mount -t proc proc /proc $ chroot /tmp/manual eatmydata apt-get update $ chroot /tmp/manual eatmydata apt-get clean $ cp tmpoP0mAP/usr/sbin/policy-rc.d manual/usr/sbin/policy-rc.d $ cp /var/cache/apt/archives/ejabberd_2.1.10-3_amd64.deb /tmp/manual/tmp $ chroot /tmp/manual eatmydata dpkg -i /tmp/ejabberd_2.1.10-3_amd64.deb $ chroot /tmp/manual eatmydata apt-get -yf install $ ls -hltra /tmp/manual/root total 20K -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 140 Nov 19 2007 .profile -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 570 Jan 31 2010 .bashrc drwxr-xr-x 22 root root 4.0K Oct 26 17:33 .. -rw------- 1 root root 1.0K Oct 26 17:38 .rnd drwx------ 2 root root 4.0K Oct 26 17:38 . Up til now, everything is fine. But when removing the packages, the /root/.erlang.cookie gets created: $ chroot /tmp/manual eatmydata apt-get remove ejabberd $ ls -hltra manual/root total 24K -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 140 Nov 19 2007 .profile -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 570 Jan 31 2010 .bashrc -r-------- 1 root root 20 Oct 25 20:00 .erlang.cookie drwxr-xr-x 22 root root 4.0K Oct 26 17:33 .. -rw------- 1 root root 1.0K Oct 26 17:38 .rnd drwx------ 2 root root 4.0K Oct 26 17:39 . Upon closer examination, the .erlang.cookie is created as soon as I run chroot /tmp/manual ejabberdctl status, which is also executed in the prerm script of ejabberd. In /etc/init.d/ejabberd, ejabberdctl is always run as $EJABBERDUSER, not as root.
