Package: tenshi
Severity: serious
Version: 0.13-2

Dear Maintainer,

purging tenshi failed on a VM running Debian Testing (not the one this
report is being written on) as follows:

Removing tenshi (0.13-2) ...
Stopping log monitor: tenshi.
Purging configuration files for tenshi (0.13-2) ...
Removing tenshi system user..userdel: user tenshi is currently used by process 
2501
dpkg: error processing package tenshi (--purge):
 subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 8

Afterwards there seems to be no more process of the user tenshi running
and there's no more process with process id 2501. Maybe because of this:

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Failed to perform requested operation on package.  Trying to recover:
Press Return to continue.

(i.e. there was no hint what was tried to being recovered, but I suspect
it's tenshi's postrm script or such.

So I suspect this is mostly an ordering issue in the postrm (or prerm)
script.

The user tenshi is though left on the system and tenshi seems not fully
purged:

# env COLUMNS=80 dpkg -l tenshi
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
