Bug Description
Binary package hint: quassel
My email is on a different system than the one the error occurred on, hence I have no idea if the report got through.
The (pre?) post-uninstall script tried to userdel "quassel-core" and failed (error 8). I think because it was still running.
I guess the daemon needs to be killed first?

Actually, trying to delete the user on purge is a mistake because it can cause unowned files to be left on the system.
