Also:

- There were typos in redirects to '/dev/null' that created files at '/dev/nul'

- postrm was failing in purge as it tried removing group. It should test for existence of user/group before trying to remove. Apparently 'deluser --system --quiet --backup-to /var/lib glance' also removes the group, so subsequent 'delgroup' exits non-zero and script fails (set -e)

Any idea if that applies to the OpenStack PPA as well ?

Apparently it was introduced after our PPA generation by fixing the group issue

@ttx- It looks like the same errors are present in the Openstack ubuntu packagers branch + what I've got installed in various places from PPA in the last 24 hrs

@ttx - Ah! Disregard. Looks like this does not exist in the current glance PPAs. Changes introduced to the Ubuntu package branches in response to Bug #851860 only.
