[cubells]

Ubuntu 22.10 completely updated.

lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu Kinetic Kudu (development branch)
Release: 22.10
Codename: kinetic

If I run

# apt purge git-daemon-run

I've got:

Unknown option: f
deluser USER
  remove a normal user from the system
  example: deluser mike

  --remove-home remove the users home directory and mail spool
  --remove-all-files remove all files owned by user
  --backup backup files before removing.
  --backup-to <DIR> target directory for the backups.
                            Default is the current directory.
  --system only remove if system user

delgroup GROUP
deluser --group GROUP
  remove a group from the system
  example: deluser --group students

  --system only remove if system group
  --only-if-empty only remove if no members left

deluser USER GROUP
  remove the user from a group
  example: deluser mike students

general options:
  -q, --quiet don't give process information to stdout
  -d, --debug be more verbose
  -h, --help usage message
  -v, --version version number and copyright
  -c FILE, --conf=FILE use FILE as configuration file

getent passwd gitlog >/dev/null || exit 0
! deluser --version >/dev/null 2>&1 || exec deluser -f gitlog
echo 'deluser program not available, not removing system user "gitlog".' >&

By changing this line:

! deluser --version >/dev/null 2>&1 || exec deluser -f gitlog

by this:

! deluser --version >/dev/null 2>&1 || exec deluser gitlog

made the trick.

Hi,

> # cat /var/lib/dpkg/info/git-daemon-run.postrm

this postrm script is from git:src, not from runit:src. This bug has nothing to do with runit, should be reassigned to the git-daemon-run package.
I've forwarded the bug to the git-daemon-run Debian package
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1020284
