Package: squid
Version: 2.7.STABLE9-2.1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
On my system I had squid, squid3, srg and squidguard. squid had been installed
due to a recommends dependancy by srg.
When I purged squid the logrotation for squidguard started to complain. By
default squidGuard logs to /var/log/squid, and
/var/lib/dpkg/info/squidguard.list mentions /var/log/squid.
The /var/lib/dpkg/info/squid.postrm script does 'rm -rf /var/log/squid'. I
don't think the squid package should be removing directories that are used by
other packages.
I've attached a trivial patch, to change the rm command to remove the logfiles
rather than the directory.
