Package: emacsen-common
Version: 2.0.5
Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/share/doc/emacsen-common/sample-package-remove-foo
In sample-package-remove-foo, the
rmdir --ignore-fail-on-non-empty ${elc_dir}
will error out if ${elc_dir} is already gone. I hoped that a remove
script would quietly succeed if the things it wants to remove are
already gone.
elc_dir already gone would not happen normally, but may happen if a
remove has been interrupted (so some flavours removed and others not
yet), or of course if something else has made a mess.
I have used "rmdir ... || true" since I'm happy to have the script
succeed both when the directory is gone already or when it's not empty
presumably due to the sysadmin having put something there.
An alternative would be working in a "test -d $elc_dir" like for example
/usr/lib/emacsen-common/packages/remove/dictionaries-common
