I checked, it does in section 9.5, last sentence: The scripts or crontab entries in these directories should check if all necessary programs are installed before they try to execute them. Otherwise, problems will arise when a package was removed but not purged since configuration files are kept on the system in this situation. filippo -- Filippo Giunchedi - http://esaurito.net PGP key: 0x6B79D401 random quote follows: I always keep the Titanic in mind when I talk about security or safety, meaning that nothing is fully secure. -- Anonymous (?)
