Description:

After the gitlab package is removed, the gitlab user and group remains, leading to a shadow.service failure when '/usr/bin/pwck -r' is ran, producing the following errors due to the missing ~ and shell paths.

# pwck -r
user 'gitlab': directory '/var/lib/gitlab' does not exist
user 'gitlab': program '/usr/share/webapps/gitlab-shell/bin/gitlab-shell' does not exist
pwck: no changes

# grep gitlab {/etc/passwd,/etc/group}
/etc/passwd:gitlab:x:105:105::/var/lib/gitlab:/usr/share/webapps/gitlab-shell/bin/gitlab-shell
/etc/group:gitlab:x:105:


Additional info:

* Tested with gitlab 11.1.4-2

Steps to reproduce:
* Install gitlab
* Uninstall gitlab
* # systemctl restart shadow
* # systemctl status shadow

https://www.archlinux.org/todo/usergroup-management/ it is arch policy not to remove users / groups
After removing any files owned by the user / group you can safely remove the user and group.
