Hi, during a test with piuparts I noticed your package left unowned files on the system after purge, which is a violation of policy 6.8 (or 10.8): http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-maintainerscripts.html#s-removedetails Filing this as important as having a piuparts clean archive is a release goal since lenny. >From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...): 0m38.8s ERROR: FAIL: Package purging left files on system: /usr/share/jed/lib/abbrev.slc not owned /usr/share/jed/lib/abbrmisc.slc not owned /usr/share/jed/lib/acompile.slc not owned /usr/share/jed/lib/aprocess.slc not owned [...] /usr/share/jed/lib/wordstar.slc not owned /usr/share/jed/lib/xformreg.slc not owned /usr/share/jed/lib/yankpop.slc not owned This is the effect of just purging jed, but leaving jed-common installed. If I understand it correctly, the compiled files are specific to the version of jed ("... and some .slc files may not work with the new jed version" in /usr/share/jed/compile/jed-common), only created after jed is installed and of no use without jed installed. So removing them on the removal of jed (instead of waiting for the removal of the source files) should be the right approach. Adding run-parts --exit-on-error --arg=remove /usr/share/jed/compile/ ... to jed.prerm and running this in the remove case should properly cleanup the old compiled files. cheers, Andreas
