The code that checks this is the following:
# Check home directories
for i in `ls /home`; do
if [ -d "/home/$i/.ecryptfs" ]; then
# If we find a .ecryptfs directory (or link) in a home,
# directory, then someone is using ecryptfs-utils, and
# we should not allow package removal
echo "ERROR: Cannot remove ecryptfs-utils, as it
appears to be in use:" 1>&2
echo " [/home/$i/.ecryptfs]" 1>&2
exit 1
fi
done
The goal here is to prevent an administrator from inadvertently removing
ecryptfs-utils, in case one of her users is actually using ecryptfs. Of
course, the administrator has the ability to 'rm -rf
/home/$i/.ecryptfs', if that's the appropriate action.
