Sounds like a broken script in the package. Did you report it to Dag?
No, I didn't report to Dag
His package was doing what it was supposed to do after my yum remove of clamav, and so it created a clamav user and group because it was a new install... of course it didn't use the same uid and gid, yet how could it know.
;->
He is on the list, and maybe I should pop an email to the request list or related support list to see if I would have chosen the upgrade path if it would have dealt properly with the change in that one clamav-server to just clamav package part of it.
I think it is easier to ask here first since Centos 4 is the base.
Is that normal behavior for a user and group to be deleted when removing a package like clamav with yum ???
Even it is is hand rolled?
I know it was hand rolled starting a long time ago... so I can dig 2 to 3 years back in my notes if you need more info.
Im guessing it is, yet I do not necessarily agree with it.
Maybe yum does yet rpm a more correct way would not or?
Thanks in advance :-)
