Package: python-samba Version: 3.0.23c-1 Severity: normal If the user ever used the samba python modules as root, *.pyc (and possibly *.pyo) files would have been created in the old /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/samba dir. Upon update from python2.3-samba, said directory will then not be removed, since it is not empty.
Not having created those files on postinst and removed them on prerm is a violation of the (old) python policy on python2.3-samba's part. As that package is disapearing, I think it is this package's responsability to clean up after it. The cleanup should probably be attempted on preinst. I realize there might be issues about detecting if the presence of the dir really means python2.3-samba was installed, but currently have no ideas about how to handle that, if it's really a problem at all. -- Rodrigo Gallardo GPG-Fingerprint: 7C81 E60C 442E 8FBC D975 2F49 0199 8318 ADC9 BC28
