Package: exabgp Version: 3.1.1-1 Severity: important User: debian...@lists.debian.org Usertags: piuparts
Hi, during a test with piuparts I noticed your package failed to purge due to a command not found. According to policy 7.2 you cannot rely on the depends being available during purge, only the essential packages are available for sure. Please see the manpages ucf(1), ucfr(1) and the example maintainer scripts under /usr/share/doc/ucf/examples/ for correct usage of ucf. Filing this as important because a.) it's a clear policy violation (to not clean up at purge) b.) having a piuparts clean archive is a release goal since lenny and c.) this package being piuparts buggy blocks packages depending on it from being tested by piuparts (and thus possibly the detection of more severe problems). >From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...): Removing exabgp ...
