Description:
When uninstall lightdm either via -R or -Rn, I get the error "error: command failed to execute correctly" after the finished uninstall.
I attached the output of pacman -Rn with --debug flag enabled.

Here I think the error happens:
debug: executing ". /tmp/alpm_2JZtcc/.INSTALL; post_remove 1:1.10.0-2"
debug: executing "/usr/bin/bash" under chroot "/"
debug: call to waitpid succeeded
error: command failed to execute correctly

I don't know if it's just a cosmetic bug or some part really fails. The uninstall hooks work fine, as user and group lightdm both are getting removed from /etc/passwd and /etc/group file.

Additional info:
* lightdm-1:1.10.0-2

Steps to reproduce:
pacman -S lightdm
pacman -R(n)? lightdm
   lightdm.txt (49.9 KiB)
This task depends upon

I'm not sure what happens, but my guess is userdel and groupdel commands return either nothing or something other that 0. Anyway as you noticed it works nonetheless so there is nothing to fix here. BTW, gdm does the exact same thing and produces the same messages.
