Package: bsdmainutils
Version: 12.1.7+nmu2
Severity: important
User: [email protected]
Usertags: piuparts
Hi,
during a test with piuparts I noticed your package left unowned files on
the system after purge, which is a violation of policy 6.8:
https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-maintainerscripts.html#details-of-removal-and-or-configuration-purging
The leftover files are actually alternatives that were installed by the
package but have not been properly removed.
Filing this as important as having a piuparts clean archive is a release
goal since lenny.
>From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):
0m28.1s INFO: Warning: Package purging left files on system:
/etc/alternatives/from -> /usr/bin/bsd-from not owned
/etc/alternatives/from.1.gz -> /usr/share/man/man1/bsd-from.1.gz not
owned
/etc/calendar/ not owned
/etc/cron.daily/bsdmainutils.dpkg-remove not owned
/usr/bin/from -> /etc/alternatives/from not owned
/usr/share/man/man1/from.1.gz -> /etc/alternatives/from.1.gz not owned
Since the /usr/bin/bsd-from binary has been dropped in bullseye,
the alternative set up by the package from buster needs to be
cleaned up during postinst configure:
update-alternatives --remove write /usr/bin/bsd-write
cheers,
Andreas
