While I'm not the maintainer of the package, but just a fellow DD who looked through the list of release critical bugs, I like to comment on the proposed patch: - deluser --remove-home canna + deluser --remove-home canna >/dev/null 2>&1 || true Sorry, but that is a quite ugly solution. Ignoring *all* errors deluser might show? And then even hiding all information from the user? What if deluser fails for an other reason? A better solution would be to check the return value of deluser (it sends a sepperate exit code, if the user didn't exists) or simple checking the existence of the user before trying to remove it. Best solution woudl of course to check why the postrm script is called twice, but just hiding all errors is nice bike shedding, but not a propper fix. Best Regards, Alexander, who just uploaded a "check existence before removing" fix -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
