*** Bug 572183 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** cyrus-sasl-2.1.23-7.fc12 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 12. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/cyrus-sasl-2.1.23-7.fc12 I have upgraded to cyrus-sasl-2.1.23-7.fc12, and it behaved as expected, still reporting the error, since the postun script was executed from the 2.1.23-4.fc12 package. I then downgraded to the 2.1.23-4.fc12 package, to test whether the postun script resolved the issue, and no longer get the error message and also the user/group does not get deleted. However, I do now get a couple of new error messages as follows: Installing : cyrus-sasl-lib-2.1.23-4.fc12.i686 1/10 Installing : cyrus-sasl-plain-2.1.23-4.fc12.i686 2/10 Installing : cyrus-sasl-md5-2.1.23-4.fc12.i686 3/10 Installing : cyrus-sasl-2.1.23-4.fc12.i686 4/10 Installing : cyrus-sasl-devel-2.1.23-4.fc12.i686 5/10 Cleanup : cyrus-sasl-plain-2.1.23-7.fc12.i686 6/10 Cleanup : cyrus-sasl-md5-2.1.23-7.fc12.i686 7/10 Cleanup : cyrus-sasl-devel-2.1.23-7.fc12.i686 8/10 Cleanup : cyrus-sasl-2.1.23-7.fc12.i686 9/10 /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.ioTElP: line 4: fg: no job control /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.ioTElP: line 5: fg: no job control Cleanup : cyrus-sasl-lib-2.1.23-7.fc12.i686 10/10 Uh.... The package should not be running userdel or groupdel at all. """ We never remove users or groups created by packages. There's no sane way to check if files owned by those users/groups are left behind """ https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:UsersAndGroups The package was written according to: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageUserCreation IMHO: There are no files created under this account and the uid/gid are fized. That page is not a packaging guideline. Once again, you can't know what the user may have done on their system so you can't know if you should be removing that user and group or not. The uid and gid are not fixed. They are fixed per site which has setup fedora-usermgmt which is a different thing. See https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-extras-list/2006-March/msg00688.html which explains that the uid and gid are ignored when fedora-usermgmt has not been configured. Also note -- if the cyrus-sasl package is not putting down any files on disk under the saslauth user/group (let alone any that need to be shared), you should be using a dynamic uid/gid pair rather than a pseudo-static one. cyrus-sasl-2.1.23-7.fc12 has been pushed to the Fedora 12 testing repository.

Likely they need to be enclosed by if [ $1 -eq 0 ]; then fi
