Package: proftpd-basic Version: 1.3.4a-1 Severity: normal If the installation of proftpd-basic is removed with dpkg --purge, everything under /srv/ftp is wiped.
As /srv/ftp most likely contains the archive file collection for distribution by anonymous ftp, is it really a good idea to do a complete removal of this directory and any sub-directories? If the directory contains a sub-directory, then the dpkg --purge process should say "directory not empty, not removing" as is usual for other packages when other packages are purged and files other than configuration files are found in a directory. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.1.0-1-686-pae (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages proftpd-basic depends on: ii adduser 3.113 ii debconf 1.5.41 ii debianutils 4.1 ii libacl1 2.2.51-5 ii libc6 2.13-24 ii libcap2 1:2.22-1 ii libncurses5 5.9-4 ii libpam-runtime 1.1.3-6 ii libpam0g 1.1.3-6 ii libpcre3 8.12-4 ii libssl1.0.0 1.0.0e-3 ii libtinfo5 5.9-4 ii libwrap0 7.6.q-21 ii netbase 4.47 ii sed 4.2.1-9 ii ucf 3.0025+nmu2 ii update-inetd 4.41 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 proftpd-basic recommends no packages.
