Package: vim-addon-mw-utils Version: 0.1-4 Severity: serious User: debian...@lists.debian.org Usertags: piuparts
Hi,
during a test with piuparts I noticed your package removes directories
that were installed by another package.
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.
Do not work around dpkg bugs failing to do the removal properly.
>From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):
0m42.5s ERROR: FAIL: After purging files have disappeared:
/var/lib/vim/ owned by: vim-common
/var/lib/vim/addons/ owned by: vim-common
This part of the postrm looks faulty:
case "$1" in
purge)
if [ -d /var/lib/vim/addons/autoload/ ]; then
rmdir -p --ignore-fail-on-non-empty /var/lib/vim/addons/autoload || :
fi
;;
* /var/lib/vim/addons/autoload does not sound specific to this package
* -p removes parent directories
cheers,
Andreas
