Package: lsb-release Version: 3.0-15 When testing lsb-release with piuparts, I get the following error:
2m2.0s ERROR: Package purging left files on system: /etc/lsb-release 2m2.4s DEBUG: Removed directory tree at /tmp/tmpA4JHeu 2m2.4s ERROR: FAIL: Upgrading between Debian distributions. This happens when testing an upgrade from sarge via etch to sid, then purging the package. I assume this is related to the fact that the sarge version provided /etc/lsb-release, but the etch/sid version no longer does. If it was a conffile before (i.e., known as such to dpkg), note that dpkg does not remove the file automatically upon upgrade, for fear that the user may have modified it. I'm not entirely sure what the right thing to do here is, for this package. Is it acceptable for lsb-release to remove the file upon upgrade from the sarge version (maybe only if unmodified)? If so, that is probably the best way. If removing the file is not acceptable, the best way to deal with this is probably to have piuparts ignore the file. If you want me to do that, please reassign the bug to piuparts. I'm happy with either solution, but I'd like your decision on it, since you're the maintainer. Thanks. -- Our technology is sadly insufficiently advanced. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
