I think I know what the bug might be here. /var/lib/dpkg/info/libnunit-core2.6.3-cil.postrm should be part of /var/lib/dpkg/info/libnunit-core2.6.3-cil.prerm - as-is, the postrm *could* get called in an order where /usr/share/cli-common/policy-remove fails (e.g. when uninstalling all of mono), so the `rm /usr/share/cli-common/packages.d/$POLICY.installcligac` never gets called due to the `set -e` This bug could well be 10 years old. Huh.
