Script

reassign owned by farukkugay to postgres;
drop user farukkugay ;

is running by superuser but it still causes the error.

Non-superuser creates roles, assigns rights and drop users using scripts
which I provided.
Those scripts work OK on most cases.

For some users, vantaa and farukkugan delete script causes error which I
described. For farukkugan it occurs also if running under superuser.

So it looks like it should be possible for non-superusers also.

Andrus.
