During my investigation of bug 835987¹, I noticed that redmine fails to install
properly if you installed and purged it before. The problem is that redmine
fails to call ucf and ucfr during postrm for the configuration files that are
created by dbconfig-common. The documentation of dbconfig-common contains the
following paragraph (the last paragraph of 3.2.1)¹:
"""
NOTE if you use this feature, you should also ensure that the generated file is
properly removed in the postrm script. dbconfig-common can not handle this
itself, unfortunately, because it may be possible that it is purged before your
package is purged. therefore, you should do the following in your postrm
script:
if [ "$1" = "purge" ]; then
rm -f yourconfigfile
if which ucf >/dev/null 2>&1; then
ucf --purge yourconfigfile
ucfr --purge yourpackage yourconfigfile
fi
fi
