Package: policy
Hi,
In section 6.8 it says:
1. <prerm> remove
If prerm fails during replacement due to conflict
<conflictor's-postinst> abort-remove \
in-favour <package> <new-version>
Or else we call:
<postinst> abort-remove
If this fails, the package is in a "Failed-Config" state, or else
it remains "Installed".
This remains "Installed" is wrong. It should remain in the state it
was before the prerm remove was called. The abort-remove should undo
what the prerm remove did, and prerm remove can be called from other
states than installed.
Please see bug #432893.
Kurt
