Package: piuparts,debconf I was testing a seemingly unrelated package (libzfs6linux in my case, it does not depend on debconf) with piuparts and am faced with a failure that seems disconnected:
| 0m12.8s ERROR: FAIL: Package purging left files on system: | /var/cache/debconf/tmp.ci/ not owned | | 0m12.8s ERROR: FAIL: Installation and purging test. As I understand things, my initial chroot did not contain that empty directory. Then my installation+purge test employed debconf in some way and debconf left it around due to #1028128. It being left behind feels vaguely intentional, but it still confuses piuparts. The problem here is that this situation makes unrelated packages fail piuparts testing. In principle, that should affect all packages, so it would be widely known and making everyones tests fail. Obviously, that's not the case, so something about my setup is special. I'm using a chroot generated using mmdebstrap rather than debootstrap and that may be the thing that's special. Either way, I'd appreciate if debconf and piuparts could agree on whether /var/cache/debconf/tmp.ci should be left behind. Thanks in advance Helmut
