reassign 372599 adduser
thanks
Hi Julien,
while the order of commands in snmpd.postrm might not be optimal,
this is rather a bug of deluser --system returning an error on
non-existing users while the man page states it doesn't.
With adduser 3.85:
# deluser --quiet --system blabla; echo $?
0
With adduser 3.87:
# deluser --quiet --system blabla; echo $?
2
This is what the man page says:
--system
Only delete if user/group is a system user/group. This avoids
accidentally deleting non-system users/groups. Additionally, if
the user does not exist, no error value is returned. This option
is mainly for use in Debian package maintainer scripts.
Thus reassigning to adduser.
However, i consider optimizing the order of commands in the postrm script
anyways :-)
Thanks,
Jochen
