The Salt state postgres_user.absent fails:

      ID: remove_foobar_vums_dci__database_user
Function: postgres_user.absent
    Name: foobar_vums_dci
  Result: False
 Comment: User foobar_vums_dci failed to be removed
 Started: 10:14:07.614833
Duration: 9523.131 ms
 Changes:

Why does it fail?

I could start some guessing now. But in this particular moment, I am not in the mood for guessing.

Is there a way to tickle saltstack a bit to tell me the reason for this failure?

Update

Several months later we came across a similar error in postres_database.absent.

This time we found the corresponding issue: https://github.com/saltstack/salt/issues/42833

maybe permission issue? – Tux_DEV_NULL Jan 26 '18 at 11:01
@Tux_DEV_NULL thank you for guessing. My goal is to get a meaningful error message. The particular failure is not that important for me right now. – guettli Jan 26 '18 at 11:14
Did you try debug logging? – Schrute Jan 30 '18 at 16:57
@Schrute unfortunately this was not reproducible. – guettli Jun 05 '18 at 08:25
@guettli please don't edit the solution into the question, post it as an answer instead and accept it. – Gerald Schneider Oct 11 '19 at 09:01
@GeraldSchneider there is no solution. Just a hint to the root of the issue. – guettli Oct 11 '19 at 09:20
Nevertheless it's an answer. – Gerald Schneider Oct 11 '19 at 09:27
@GeraldSchneider you are right. – guettli Oct 11 '19 at 09:29
