Package: dovecot-core Version: 1:2.1.7-3 Severity: important User: debian...@lists.debian.org Usertags: piuparts
Hi, during a test with piuparts I noticed your package left unowned directories on the system after purge, which is a violation of policy 6.8: http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-maintainerscripts.html#s-removedetails Filing this as important as having a piuparts clean archive is a release goal since lenny. The maintainer scripts create (and later remove) a file in that directory. Manual directory removal may be not appropriate as this directory is shared between several packages. If the package would ship this as an empty directory, dpkg would take care of the creation and removal (if it's empty). >From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...): 0m38.1s ERROR: FAIL: Package purging left files on system: /etc/dovecot/ owned by: dovecot-core /etc/dovecot/private/ not owned Note that I added a custom script for this piuparts test that deletes the dovecot certificates after the dovecot package is removed (and before it's purged), that script is not yet in piuparts.git. Shipping a 0700 directory works fine - see openssl which ships /etc/ssl/private with these permissions. cheers, Andreas
