Package: dpkg Version: 1.10.27 Severity: important Hi,
It seems dpkg sets the state of a package wrong when the purge failed and it was called with --purge. Currently xfree86-common postrm fails to purge, but the removal itself worked. Starting with: ii xfree86-common 4.3.0.dfsg.1-1 X Window System (XFree86) infrastructure dpkg --remove xfree86-common: rc xfree86-common 4.3.0.dfsg.1-1 X Window System (XFree86) infrastructure dpkg --purge xfree86-common: pc xfree86-common 4.3.0.dfsg.1-1 X Window System (XFree86) infrastructure This is the expected state. Now, if I do start again from: ii xfree86-common 4.3.0.dfsg.1-1 X Window System (XFree86) infrastructure And just do: dpkg --purge xfree86-common I get: Removing xfree86-common ... Purging configuration files for xfree86-common ... Removing any system startup links for /etc/init.d/xfree86-common ... /etc/rcS.d/S70xfree86-common dpkg: error processing xfree86-common (--purge): subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 20 Errors were encountered while processing: xfree86-common And the state is: pi xfree86-common 4.3.0.dfsg.1-1 X Window System (XFree86) infrastructure This is obviously wrong, since the postrm was succesful, it should be in state c, as above.
