Hi,
I hope I'm getting an unblock (and age) for this one, otherwise it'll
be a candidate for Lenny r1 :/
Bottom line is that the current version of mt-daapd fails to set
proper ownership and permissions on its config file and cache
directory upon reinstallation after a purge.
The postinst depends on the non-existence of the mt-daapd user to add
stat overrides for /var/cache/mt-daapd and /etc/mt-daapd.conf.
Starting with 0.9~r1696.dfsg-4, the postrm (correctly) doesn't remove
the mt-daapd user on purge anymore, but the sucky postinst was
overlooked while making this change and it broke.
I've fixed the postinst in 0.9~r1696.dfsg-5 that I just uploaded. The
stat overrides additions are now conditioned by their non-existence in
dpkg's database, which is the way to do that.
mt-daapd (0.9~r1696.dfsg-5) unstable; urgency=low
* debian/postinst:
+ Fix postinst to not depend on the existence of the mt-daapd user for
stat overrides (closes: #514334).

I honestly wish I had caught that one earlier; I was trying to do only
minimal changes to the (crappy, sub-optimal and sub-standard)
packaging instead of repackaging from scratch as we were in freeze
already and that bit me back.
Thanks,
JB.
