tags 431853 + patch thanks Hello,
Interesting summary for handling system accounts is here: http://wiki.debian.org/AccountHandlingInMaintainerScripts Files commonly owned by amavis (user|group) are: - quarantine files (by default in /var/lib/amavis/virusmails/) - temporary files (by default in /var/lib/amavis/tmp/) - cache files (by default in /var/lib/amavis/db/) - spam cache files (Bayes, AWL) ((by default in /var/lib/amavis/.spamassassin/) - log files but by default there is no log file owned by amavis (default to syslog usage) /var/lib/amavis/ directory is removed in postrm then *by default* there is no files owned by amavis (user|group) after purging. Then I think we should delete amavis (user|group) because advanced amavis users who changes default locations or complex configuration should take care of system users. I propose that a patch like in attachment closes this bug. Regards, -- Gregory Colpart <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> GnuPG:1024D/C1027A0E Evolix - Informatique et Logiciels Libres http://www.evolix.fr/
