According to the log
https://launchpadlibrarian.net/314741409/DuplicateSignature.txt
you did delete the boinc user somewhat manually.
Please do something like

addgroup --quiet --system boinc
adduser --quiet --system --ingroup boinc
usermod -a -G video boinc

and then try to remove it again

thanks
