So I checked policy again because I wanted to know exactly what it says. I am not sure purging mysql-server-$version should remove the databases. Policy mentions that configuration files and logs should be removed on purge but I could not find anything else by searching for purge. Beside, section 6.8 about the datails of how the purge script is called is explicitely named "Details of removal and/or *configuration* purging". Therefore I am not sure /var/spool/dspam should be removed, especially this folder contain data collected by dspam to take decisions. It is thus really akin the mysql example cited above.

I'm really not sure for /var/spool/dspam. > > Gaudenz Best regards, Thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
