The apache2 port has a pkg-deinstall message which tells the user the following: "To delete Apache user permanently, use 'pw userdel www'" However since rev 1.25.2.5 of etc/master.passwd FreeBSD has the user and group www by default, so this is no longer correct advice. Fix: Remove the pkg-deinstall file, or make it intelligent enough to know that on revisions greater or equal to 1.25.2.5 deletion is not required. The revision Id can be obtained with: # ident /etc/master.passwd | cut -f8 -d " " The pkg-install only adds the www:www information if it doesn't already exist so it does not need to be changed. How-To-Repeat: cd /usr/ports/www/apache2/ && make deinstall
Have you mentioned this to the maintainer?
