Hi,
> I try this evening to install dhcp-probe-1.3.0-10 on my laptop.
> Interface detection work fine and file is created.
> When I purge the package the entire /etc/dhcp-probe is purged (no
> file is left in directory, itself deleted).
I just retested this issue on a freshly apt-get-update-d jessie (virtual)
machine, and reproduced the problem.
Steps to reproduce:
$ apt-get install dhcp-probe(never previously installed on this
machine; Tested on a machine with two ethernet interfaces: eth0 and eth1)
$ rm /etc/dhcp-probe/dhcp-probe.eth1
$ apt-get purge dhcp-probe
$ apt-get install dhcp-probe
See the log below. The error (/warning) message in question is 9 lines from the
bottom.
After purging dhcp-probe, apparently some information relating to its config
files remains (or can remain ?) stored on the system, even though the files
themselves were removed. IMO, such information should be erased as well
when purging.
Regards,
Rogier.
