Package: pvm
Version: 3.4.5-12.5
Severity: important
Policy §6.2 reads: “It is necessary for the error recovery procedures
that the scripts be idempotent. This means that if it is run
successfully, and then it is called again, it doesn't bomb out or cause
any harm, but just ensures that everything is the way it ought to be.”
However, pvm prerm script does this:
update-alternatives --remove-all pvm-rsh
This is _not_ idempotent:
# update-alternatives --remove-all pvm-rsh || echo FAILED
# update-alternatives --remove-all pvm-rsh || echo FAILED
update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for pvm-rsh
FAILED
