--- Begin Message ---Package: inn Version: 1:1.7.2q-36 Severity: critical Justification: causes serious data loss -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 inn.postrm will do clean_var_lib() { echo "Purging active file and history data..." rm -f /var/lib/news/active* /var/lib/news/history* \ /var/lib/news/newsgroups if [ -d /var/lib/news/ ]; then rmdir --ignore-fail-on-non-empty /var/lib/news/ fi } on both "remove" and "purge". This causes the active file and history data to be lost unless the user manually made a backup prior to removing inn. The files contain valuable data which cannot easily be reconstructed. Debian users do expect such important state to be kept unless a package is purged. Deleting the files on package removal will cause serious data loss for any user who haven't read inn.postrm Please do not call clean_var_lib() on "remove". It should only be called on "purge". I also believe the echo "Remove the news spool in /var/spool/news yourself!" is misplaced, but that can't be justified as critical since it doesn't cause any data loss. But please also consider moving this line with comments to the "purge" target.
