Package: jffnms
Version: 0.8.1-2
Severity: important

I was trying to purge jffnms from my system as I don't need it anymore
and used the following command:

     sudo aptitude purge jffnms

This works fine, except that the postrm script fails, as it is trying
to do the deletedb function in it, as user jffnms, AFTER removing the
user jffnms.  The error I get is:

   Purging configuration files for jffnms ...
   0
   psql: FATAL:  IDENT authentication failed for user "jffnms"
   dpkg: error processing jffnms (--purge):
     subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 2
 

If I change the order so that the "deletedb" function in
postrm is executed before removing the user from /etc/passwd, I get
errors saying:

    Purging configuration files for jffnms ...
    ERROR:  current user cannot be dropped

But the package does get purged !!! :-)

I think ensuring that the removal of the jffnms user is done at the
end, and that deletedb is done using the postgres admin user, should
probably get rid of even the second set of errors.

cheers,
