Hi, I have the same issue as OP but also with packages' users. For example: # sysclean @user _dbus:572:_dbus:daemon:/nonexistent:/sbin/nologin (modified) @user _rsync:669:_rsync:daemon:/var/empty:/sbin/nologin (modified) In such case, the sysmerge after userdel does not readd said user. How should I proceed then? -- Manuel Giraud
