Package: proftpd
Version: 1.3.0-11
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Hi there.
Looks like I cannot purge proftpd in testing. I don't know much about Debian
packet
management, but it seems that update-rc.d in proftpd.postrm produces output to
stdout
that confuses debconf ("Removing any system startup links for
/etc/init.d/proftpd
..."). At the end of the script some lines, according to the surrounding
comments,
have apparently been added by "dh_installdebconf". The added commands seem to
invoke
debconf, which then in turn re-invokes the script and parses its output. Or
something
like this.
Well, anyway. If you redirect the output of update-rc.d to /dev/null,
everything gets
back to normal:
*** /root/proftpd.postrm.orig 2006-11-10 13:41:58.000000000 +0100
--- /var/lib/dpkg/info/proftpd.postrm 2006-11-10 13:42:16.000000000 +0100
***************
*** 8,14 ****
if [ "$1" = "purge" ]
then
rm -rf /etc/proftpd
! update-rc.d proftpd remove || true
userdel --remove --force proftpd || true
fi
--- 8,14 ----
if [ "$1" = "purge" ]
then
rm -rf /etc/proftpd
! update-rc.d proftpd remove >/dev/null || true
userdel --remove --force proftpd || true
fi
Thanks,
