Followup-For: Bug #915662 Control: tag -1 patch Hi,
attached you can find a trivial patch that adds the 'missingok' keyword to the logrotate config. Removing system users is nowadays considered bad practice since the users may still be referenced in the file system or, like in this case, in configuration files. I've verified that reinstallation after removal/purge (i.e. with the user still present) still works. Please get this fixed and unblocked for buster as it can result in piuparts regressions (due to the more strict checking we do nowadays). I might consider NMUing this fix. Andreas
