This is pretty unsafe anyway, just ran into this on reinstall (after fiddling with removing some directories): Get:1 http://deb.debian.org/debian sid/main amd64 matrix-synapse all 0.99.2-3 [701 kB] Fetched 701 kB in 0s (3236 kB/s) Preconfiguring packages ... dpkg: unrecoverable fatal error, aborting: unknown system user 'matrix-synapse' in statoverride file; the system user got removed before the override, which is most probably a packaging bug, to recover you can remove the override manually with dpkg-statoverride E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2) Probably has to do with the daemon user bug, not being removed?
