Package: mumudvb Version: 1.6-1 Severity: important User: debian...@lists.debian.org Usertags: piuparts
Hi, during a test with piuparts I noticed your package failed to purge due to a command not found. According to policy 7.2 you cannot rely on the depends being available during purge, only the essential packages are available for sure. Filing this as important because a.) it's a clear policy violation (to not clean up at purge) b.) having a piuparts clean archive is a release goal since lenny and c.) this package being piuparts buggy blocks packages depending on it from being tested by piuparts (and thus possibly the detection of more severe problems). >From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...): Removing mumudvb ... Purging configuration files for mumudvb ... /var/lib/dpkg/info/mumudvb.postrm: 32: /var/lib/dpkg/info/mumudvb.postrm: deluser: not found dpkg: error processing mumudvb (--purge): subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 127 Errors were encountered while processing: mumudvb The fix should be easy: your package is using adduser or deluser from the adduser package, which is only priority important. Using useradd or userdel from the passwd package should fix this problem. cheers, Andreas
