Package: auctex
Version: 11.86-10
Severity: important
This snippet from auctex.postinst.eperl is faulty:
,----
| <: # obsolete emacs21, emacs22 and emacs-snapshot conffiles and dirs :>//
| for f in 21 22 -snapshot; do
| dpkg-maintscript-helper rm_conffile \
| /etc/emacs${f}/site-start.d/50auctex.el \
| 11.86-5 auctex -- "${@}"
| if [ -d /etc/emacs${f}/site-start.d ]; then
| rmdir --ignore-fail-on-non-empty \
| /etc/emacs${f}/site-start.d
| fi
| if [ -d /etc/emacs${f} ]; then
| rmdir --ignore-fail-on-non-empty \
| /etc/emacs${f}
| fi
| done
`----
Even if the emacs{21,22,-snapshot} packages are no longer in Debian,
they still may be installed on users' systems, and removing their
site-start.d directory is going to break them. Besides, the code in
question really only should be run when installing auctex; right now it
is even executed when the auctex postinst is triggered.
