Bug#546198: uninstallable due to logged in debian-xfs user

[Arthur Marsh <arthur.marsh@internode.on.net>]

Package: xfs
Severity: normal


Same error here, upgrading from within kde:

Setting up xfs (1:1.0.8-4) ...
Installing new version of config file /etc/init.d/xfs ...
usermod: user debian-xfs is currently logged in
dpkg: error processing xfs (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 8

Would this upgrade work in single user mode?
