Package: libglib2.0-0 Version: Severity: serious User: debian...@lists.debian.org Usertags: piuparts
Hi, during a test with piuparts I noticed your package misses two directories after an upgrade. These directories are shipped by the package. Any easy way to reproduce this is in a minimal chroot with only libglib2.0-0 but no gio modules installed: apt-get install --reinstall libglib2.0-0 Piupart reports: 0m27.9s DEBUG: Starting command: ['chroot', '/srv/piuparts/tmp/tmpujqyat', 'tmp/scripts/pre_remove_40_find_missing_md5sums'] 0m27.9s DUMP: libglib2.0-0: MISSING OBJECT /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gio libglib2.0-0: MISSING OBJECT /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gio/modules 0m27.9s DEBUG: Command ok: ['chroot', '/srv/piuparts/tmp/tmpujqyat', 'tmp/scripts/pre_remove_40_find_missing_md5sums'] This is caused by the postrm script which unconditionally deletes giomodule.cache and the path to it. During upgrade (or reinstallation), dpkg will call old-postrm upgrade new-version after the new package has been unpacked. The two actions cleaning up (the path to) giomodule.cache in postrm should probably be limited to 'remove' and 'purge'. To properly recreate the missing directories after having upgraded to a buggy version in the past, you need to mkdir -p them in postinst. (The directories get deleted (again) by the old postrm *after* the new package has been unpacked.) Andreas
