Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code
Hi !
I installed for some tests the cyrus-imap server.
Today I did:
apt-get --purge remove cyrus-imap
I saw that the cyrus user was not removed from /etc/passwd, so I did:
userdel cyrus
And now, I can't install packages anymore, I get the followinf error:
dpkg: syntax error: unknown user `cyrus' in statusoverride file
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)
Anyone has an idea how to resolve this problem without recreating the cyrus user
which I don't need...
Thanks in advance.
