And that's on purpose at least in Debian. If HAM can't be told to
purge a package there's not much that can be done (short of using
brute force in the postrm maintainer script. Ehh, this sounds ugly.).
Yes, I tried the brute-force approach, and it was ugly. Ended up with
the package manager thinking the sudoers file still existed. :(
BTW, what is Debian's purpose on keeping conffiles around? Is there
value in having config info for nonexisting packages? (Should I not be
worried about leaving sudoers files in the sudoers.d directory?)
You can create sudoers.d file in postinst file and remove it in postrm.
echo "..."> /etc/sudoers.d/...
Thanks, tried that out, and it works fine! I guess I'll just go with
that for now...
Thanks,
