Package: softhsm2-common
Version: 2.2.0~rc2-1
Severity: normal
Dear maintainer:
I had both softhsm and softhsm2 installed for a while.
I recently purged softhsm-common in an attempt to clean up my system,
and i believe that the postrm script of softhsm-common did a "delgroup
softhsm"
As a result, dpkg failed completely on subsequent attempts with:
dpkg: unrecoverable fatal error, aborting:
unknown group 'softhsm' in statoverride file
sure enough, "dpkg-statoverride --list" showed:
root softhsm 640 /etc/softhsm/softhsm2.conf
To work around this, i had to do:
dpkg-statoverride --remove /etc/softhsm/softhsm2.conf
dpkg-reconfigure softhsm2-common
I think the problem i ran into probably lies in the postrm of the
softhsm-common package (which is no longer installed), but the same
behavior might cause trouble in the postrm of softhsm2-common.
