    Is it possible to create a preop() entry that _halts_ the installation
    of a package? When installing a package that requires a specific
    username, we'd like to test if the username exists on the system
    before continuing with installation of the package. We created the
    necessary preop() entry and return an exit code of 1 but inst
    continues with the installation of the program, assigning a new
    user/group:
      Assigning id 60000 to unknown user/group name www
