Package: procmail-lib
Version: 1:2002.01.02-1
Severity: normal
Two, possibly related, bugs
(1) This code from the postinst looks dead to me.
if [ -d /usr/lib/procmail-lib -a ! -d /usr/lib/procmail-lib ]; then
rm -rf /usr/lib/procmail-lib
fi
So it can't have done what it was supposed to do, surely! Or am I
missing something? :-)
(2) When upgrading from pre-woody, the postinst makes a symlink. Even
purging the package doesn't remove the symlink.
I had procmail-lib from potato installed (vn 1995.08.28-4.1) and
upgraded to woody (vn 1997.07.22-2). The (woody) postinst created
this symbolic link:
debian:/usr/lib$ ls -o procmail-lib
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 23 2002-08-26 03:57 procmail-lib -> /usr/share/procmail-lib
This link is unchanged by the woody -> sarge upgrade, and is not
removed when procmail-lib is purged.
I would suggest removing the link in the prerm, or if you really want
the link to survive further upgrades, then in a postrm. Something
like
if [ -L /usr/lib/procmail-lib ]; then
rm -f /usr/lib/procmail-lib
fi
