Package: snort-pgsql
Version: 2.9.2.2-2.1
Severity: serious
User: debian...@lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts
Hi,
during a test with piuparts I noticed your package removes files that
were installed by another package.
The removed files were already present before the package was installed,
they may have been shipped or created by a dependency.
This could be a violation of policy 10.7.4 ("Sharing configuration
files"), see
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-files.html#s10.7.4
or policy chapter 6 ("Package maintainer scripts..."), see
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-maintainerscripts.html
or policy 7.6 ("Overwriting files..."), see
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#s-replaces
If a directory is used by several packages, all should ship it as part
of the package (possibly empty, using $package.dirs to create it), and
no package should mkdir/rmdir it in the maintainer scripts as dpkg will
take care of this.

This is not correct. I believe this is a false positive:

No, in this case, the removed file (not file*s*) was created by the package
itself.

This file is generated automatically by snort-mysql's postinst script.
Since the package is removing on purge a file it created on postinst, I don't
believe this is an issue.
Note: This same configuration file is also generated by snort-pgsql, but it
is *not* reasonable for users to install both.

The contents of this file are not modified by any of snort-pgsql's scripts,
so I believe this report is not correct. The log does not indicate which
modifications it has found, so I cannot determine why is it complaining about
this.
