Package: cruft
Version: 0.9.10
The README.gz for cruft states that suggestions, etc should be filed as
bugs, so here goes.
there appears to be no way to dictate that a file installed by a package
must not be part of the system.
for example, if I delete /foo/bar from the system, and I want to tell
cruft that this file MUST_NOT be present, I can't find a way of doing so.
first, I tried adding it to an explain script on FD4 (ie MUST_NOT), but
this causes an error because the dpkg script describes this file as MUST
whereas my script describes it as MUST_NOT. rather than my script
overriding the other script, it causes a conflict.
so next I removed that explain rule and instead added a filter_miss for
/foo/bar. this does prevent the conflict message, but if /foo/bar is
added back to the system, cruft doesn't complain about it, and thats not
what we want.
so then I tried the combination of both the filter_miss entry as well as
the explain MUST_NOT entry. however, this again creates a conflict.
so how does one tell cruft that a file installed by dpkg MUST_NOT be on
the system?
