package greylistd tags 431516 + patch thanks Hello,
One way to fix this bug is to mask the calls to deluser/delgroup with tests that check for the existence of deluser/delgroup as outlined in this wiki page: http://wiki.debian.org/AccountHandlingInMaintainerScripts. If adduser is available it will remove the user/group otherwise a warning is printed that the user/group couldn't be deleted because the deluser/delgroup commands couldn't be found. A patch to fix this is attached. Grüße, Frank
