thanks for the heads-up. The command that is not being found, though, is "deluser" (part of the "adduser" package). The respective course of action in other packages seems to be to leave the user entry in /etc/passwd behind, instead of trying 'sed' or something on it to remove the entry. I'm not comfortable with such a solution, either. What do you recommend, short of simply deleting the references to deluser? > /var/lib/dpkg/info/roundup.postrm: 50: deluser: not found The adduser package has only priority "important", not "essential". I find this a little strange because imho, nobody should manually edit these files (also a good way to bypass any PAM configuration).
