Package: ca-certificates
Version: 20061027
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 6.2 (sometimes interacts non-idempotently), 3.9 (error
(missing dir) not checked for), 6.8 (removes files at wrong time)
The postrm, called with "remove", changes into a directory that
does not always exist. The results are unpleasant.
1. if you try to remove the package when /etc/ssl/certs is empty, remove
fails, because dpkg removes the dir before postrm is called
2. if you removed but did not purge (typical within aptitude, because
such packages as openoffice.org-core pull you in automatically) and later
try to remove or purge again, remove/purge fails.
I believe you MUST be able to remove a package more than once,
idempotently (policy 6.2), but currently, you cannot. Hence I think
the bug is serious. (Apologies if I'm wrong about that.)
For example, dpkg can't always remove the package if brokenly installed.
Encountered during sarge -> etch upgrade error recovery:
wolfgang:~# dpkg -r ca-certificates
(Reading database ... 114332 files and directories currently installed.)
Removing ca-certificates ...
/var/lib/dpkg/info/ca-certificates.postrm: line 21: cd: /etc/ssl/certs: No such
file or directory
dpkg: error processing ca-certificates (--remove):
subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
ca-certificates
Possible solutions:
1. in postrm, check if dir exists before cd; or
2. create a prerm and remove the hash symlinks there
The second seems more in keeping with policy 6.8: the prerm should do
the cleanup, then dpkg can remove the dir /etc/ssl/certs listed in *.list
(and we won't get warnings about dir not empty)
Perhaps the dir is only empty if you answer the template question
the same way I did? It might explain why this hasn't been noticed
before.
