Bug#565171: mediatomb-daemon: statoverride problem causes purging to fail

[Håkon Stordahl]

Package: mediatomb-daemon
Version: 0.12.0~svn2018-4
Severity: normal

Hi. Purging of mediatomb-daemon fails:

$ dpkg -P mediatomb-daemon
(Reading database ... 341809 files and directories currently installed.)
Removing mediatomb-daemon ...
Purging configuration files for mediatomb-daemon ...
/usr/sbin/deluser: The user `mediatomb' does not exist.
The group `mediatomb' does not exist.
dpkg-statoverrides: unrecoverable fatal error, aborting:
 syntax error: unknown user 'mediatomb' in statoverride file
dpkg: error processing mediatomb-daemon (--purge):
 subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
 mediatomb-daemon

As the error messages indicate this is apparently because the mediatomb
user and group are deleted before the statoverrides in the postrm
script. The following simple patch appears to fix the problem.
