Package: puppet-common Version: 2.6.1~rc3-1 Severity: serious puppet-common cannot be removed when it was only unpacked but never configured.
I ran into this while trying to install an older puppet (hence the dpkg instead of just apt), but the bug is still present in the latest version, as shown here. master:~# dpkg --unpack puppet-common_2.6.1~rc3-1_all.deb Selecting previously deselected package puppet-common. (Reading database ... 26457 files and directories currently installed.) Unpacking puppet-common (from puppet-common_2.6.1~rc3-1_all.deb) ... Processing triggers for man-db ... master:~# dpkg --purge puppet-common (Reading database ... 27176 files and directories currently installed.) Removing puppet-common ... Purging configuration files for puppet-common ... rmdir: failed to remove `/var/lib/puppet': No such file or directory dpkg: error processing puppet-common (--purge): subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 1 Processing triggers for man-db ... Errors were encountered while processing: puppet-common master:~# This is a bug in your postrm script, probably quite easy to fix (e.g. with a ! [ -d ... ] || rmdir) Cheers -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
