Well, when doing ucfr on package installation, it modifies files in /var/lib/ucf. If you are now uninstalling a package you would normally run ucf to remove the entries in ucfs registry. This cannot happen, when ucf is beeing removed before, so the files remain changed. So in fact there is nothing buggy about $package. Its just a case that is not masked by our package management or our policy. > regards, > Holger, pondering if ucf should be requiered ;-) Yes, I was wondering about this, too. Someone said that ucf functionality might get merged back into dpkg.. eventually this would be an even better solution. But for now I think that piuparts should not consider packages buggy, just because they use ucf.
