[willy@debian.org: Bug#192297: more info]

As per attachment I ask for help for cmucl that needs to use the
adduser package during the postrm. Which fails because cmucl only
depends on adduser. Pre-depending seems like overkill, so what to do?

Groetjes, Peter

You depend on adduser, but this doesn't seem to be enough.  The adduser package
is getting purged before common-lisp-controller, like so:

Removing adduser ...
Removing cl-asdf ...
Removing cl-defsystem3 ...
Removing clisp ...
dpkg - warning: while removing clisp, directory `/usr/lib/clisp/full' not empty so not removed.
dpkg - warning: while removing clisp, directory `/usr/lib/clisp' not empty so not removed.
Removing common-lisp-controller ...
dpkg - warning: while removing common-lisp-controller, directory `/etc/common-lisp' not empty so not removed.
/var/lib/dpkg/info/common-lisp-controller.postrm: line 23: deluser: command not found
/var/lib/dpkg/info/common-lisp-controller.postrm: line 24: delgroup: command not found

I suppose pre-depending on adduser would do it, but that seems like
swatting a gnat with a thermonuclear missile.  I think you should ask
the dpkg maintainers about what to do.
