Package: ucf Version: 2.0020 Severity: important Using the examle code given in /usr/share/doc/ucf/examples/postrm results in an RC buggy package (Policy Violation, does depend on a non-essential package during postrm).
When ucf --purge is invoked from postrm while debconf is already gone, the ucf call fails, complaining about Debconf/Db.pm not being found. This results in the postrm aborting, which is an RC bug. This can of course be worked around in the package by checking for ucf's dependencies before invoking ucf --purge, but this would - again - enhance the package's complexity, thus making the chance of a package bug bigger. This should be worked around in ucf.
