Sorry, it is a very bad practice to remove system users on package purge. There might still be files or processes left which belong to that user, and the next time you install a package which creates a new system user, that new one would suddenly inherit those files/processes.
Instead, the installation should be made more robust, so that an already existing user is just checked that it has correct properties (system user, etc.) ** Changed in: amavisd-new (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Incomplete -- amavisd-new broken user (again) Intrepid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/311277 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
