I thought a bit more about this. We could delete _all_
package-related cruft in a preinst script (that way you know none
are supposed to exist at that time), but that would mean having
a preinst script!
Another way is to check for the existance of the related emacs
binary. In perl, I'd do:
-------------------
#!/usr/bin/perl
while (</usr/share/emacs/*/site-lisp/gri-mode.CompilationLog.gz>) {
/\/usr\/share\/emacs\/(.*)\/site-lisp/;
if (! -e "/usr/bin/emacs-$1" ) {
print "Deleting $_\n";
# unlink $_ or die "Cannot delete $_.\n";
}
}
while (</usr/share/xemacs*/site-lisp/gri-mode.CompilationLog.gz>) {
/\/usr\/share\/xemacs(.*)\/site-lisp/;
if (! -e "/usr/bin/xemacs$1" ) {
print "Deleting $_\n";
# unlink $_ or die "Cannot delete $_.\n";
}
}
-------------------
Removing the comments for unlink, of course.
So either I translate this to shell code (?) or I call it as a
perl `here' file (perl <<EOF).
