Hi Joost,

I think best would be to "exit 0" if your package is removed. E.g. check for
the existence of some file under /usr of your package, and 'exit 0' with no
output if the file is not there.
There was a check already to see if we should stop early, without any
warning or output. Unfortunately, the cron job was run in dash (by
piu-parts). And dash does not know the variable EUID.
So I ended up rewriting the script to use the following and that seems
to work:
# Get the effective UID, but do so in a compatible way (we may be
running dash)
euid=${EUID:-$(id -u)}
if[ "${euid}"-ne 0 ] ; then
thenecho"Please run as root"
exit
fi
regards and thanks for all the helpful feedback,
