dpkg: error processing tinywm (--purge):
subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
----cut----
Now a dpkg -L tinywm lists:
/etc/gdm
/etc/gdm/Sessions
/etc/gdm/Sessions/tinywm
I am not a Debian developer, nor tried to be one, but I think the
problem could be in conffiles/postrm files.
tinywm.conffiles:
/etc/gdm/Sessions/tinywm
tinywm.postrm:
---cut---
....
PACKAGE="tinywm"
case "$1" in
purge)
test -d /etc/X11/$PACKAGE && rm -rf /etc/X11/$PACKAGE
;;
remove)
;;
*)
;;
esac
----cut----
Now, what I suspect is happening, dpkg is removing all but the conffiles
content (that would be why /etc/gdm/Sessions still exists?), including
/etc/X11/tinywm, which cannot be then properly purged. test command
returns false, which will be the result of the script, thus the error. I
am not sure of course about this, but please take a look.
