hey d-d, it was recently brought to my attention that the documented method for using the dbconfig-common hooks in a maintainer's postrm script was non-compliant wrt policy 7.2. policy stipulates that packages can not require use of programs from any non-essential packages in the postrm/purge phase.
unfortunately, the example packages used as guidelines didn't make any checks to safeguard this, so i suspect most/all of the packages using dbconfig-common do not either. since these are rc-bugs, i don't think the lintian route is the correct path and plan to file the bugs in the next few days. fwiw, below are the affected package(r)s according to grep-aptavail/dd-list. sean Cameron Dale <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> torrentflux David Gil <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> acidbase phpgacl John Goerzen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> bacula Debian Nagios Maintainer Group <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> nagios Thijs Kinkhorst <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> serendipity Debian DSPAM Maintainers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> dspam Zabbix Maintainers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> zabbix Miguel Gea Milvaques <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> mydms Tim Peeler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> webcalendar Craig Small <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> jffnms Radu Spineanu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> simba Alexis Sukrieh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> bugzilla OndÅej Surý <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> postfix-policyd Torsten Werner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> otrs2 sean finney <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> cacti cacti-cactid Debian Tikiwiki team <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> tikiwiki --
