Package: uml-utilities
Version: 20040406-1
Hi,
I purged uml-utilities and then removed the uml-net user and group on my
debian system. On the next use of dpkg (or apt) I got the following error:
...
Reading package fields... Done
Reading package status... Done
Retrieving bug reports... Done
dpkg: syntax error: unknown group `uml-net' in statusoverride file
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)
This makes dpkg / apt useless (if the user does not know how to fix it)
I analysed this problem and saw that a statoverride entry for the uml_net
binary will be created by postinst at installation time...
But there is no postrm script that removes the statoverride entry on a
remove/purge. For the user/group: uml-net exists the same problem, they get
never removed.
I patched uml-utilities so it deletes the statoverride entry on a remove and
additionally the user/group: uml-net will be deleted on a purge.
I think if someone removes the uml-utilities package, he should be able to
delete the uml-net user/group without breaking anything.
I looked in some other postrm's and noticed that postfix acts equal to my
patch. So I hope my patch is acceptable...
