So, if you drop using fedora-usermgmt, you cannot keep the relative (!) uid 33 that has been registered for it. 33 is "amandabackup": $ rpm -qd setup /usr/share/doc/setup-2.8.36/COPYING /usr/share/doc/setup-2.8.36/uidgid <-- (!)

However, if the directory contains files created at run-time, the package should not "rm -rf" those files when uninstalling, so it could remove the empty dir. -- packaging mailing list packaging@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/packaging
