[Pkg-puppet-devel] Bug#481511: purge leaves behind group

[Thijs Kinkhorst]

Package: puppet
Version: 0.24.4-6
Severity: normal

When purging puppet, the user "puppet" is removed but the group "puppet" is not. This
seems inconsistent with me. The cause is probably that the preinst script calls adduser
with the --group option, but the postrm doesn't do the same of deluser.

Here's a transcript showing a warning that an empty group remains.


cheers,
Thijs
