Package: rabbitmq-server Version: 2.6.1-1 Severity: serious Hi,
I'm sorry that it's the 2nd time today that I have to send a RC bug against this package... :( This one is very easy to reproduce. Luckily, it's also very easy to fix! Why are you even trying to userdel rabbitmq? Just don't do that, it's really ok (and I believe *better*) to leave the system user when the package is removed. Anyway, the issue is very simple: you are deleting the user *before* rabbitmq had enough time to shutdown. That's in fact one more reason why you should be using start-stop-daemon, in your init.d script, which will wait nicely until the daemon dies. Anyway, here's how to reproduce. Install a fresh SID, then do: apt-get install rabbitmq-server Then try to remove: apt-get --purge remove rabbitmq-server Then here's the error: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done The following packages will be REMOVED: rabbitmq-server* 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 0 not upgraded. 1 not fully installed or removed.
