Package: bind9 Version: 1:9.10.6+dfsg-5 Severity: important User: [email protected] Usertags: piuparts
Hi, during a test with piuparts I noticed your package failed to purge. According to policy 7.2 you cannot rely on the depends being available during purge, only the essential packages are available for sure. Filing this as important because a.) it's a clear policy violation (to not clean up at purge) b.) having a piuparts clean archive is a release goal since lenny and c.) this package being piuparts buggy blocks packages depending on it from being tested by piuparts (and thus possibly the detection of more severe problems). >From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...): Purging configuration files for bind9 (1:9.10.6+dfsg-5) ... rmdir: failed to remove '/var/lib/bind': No such file or directory dpkg: error processing package bind9 (--purge): installed bind9 package post-removal script subprocess returned error exit status 1 This was observed while testing the dms-wsgi package, nut just bind9 itself. So a certain package combination seems to trigger it. Anyway, postrm should not assume the stuff it wants to delete must exist. cheers, Andreas
