Package: apt-cacher-ng Version: 0.7.19-1 Severity: important User: debian...@lists.debian.org Usertags: piuparts
Hi, during a test with piuparts I noticed your package failed to purge. According to policy 7.2 you cannot rely on the depends being available during purge, only the essential packages are available for sure. 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 apt-cacher-ng ... Purging configuration files for apt-cacher-ng ... rmdir: failed to remove '/etc/apt-cacher-ng': No such file or directory dpkg: error processing apt-cacher-ng (--purge): subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: apt-cacher-ng The package should probably ship the directory and let dpkg handle creation and removal, no need to do this in the maintainer scripts manually. cheers, Andreas
