Can you give me a simple example package showing how it should be done please? It is not that I didn't try my best but the case is I've already tried my best to guess what the above means but it seems I guessed wrong each time. Thus I need detailed help, those few words only get me going around the circles. OK, let's start from the beginning: > > How to properly handle conffile files in such a case? > You should remove them manually in postrm, but only on > purge. That's actually what I've been doing, removing them manually in postrm and on purge -- https://salsa.debian.org/debian/dbab/-/commit/0acfe617f064c5907f999707e37be12c7b9f8328 But I was told to "using rm_conffile directive from .maintscript file" So I did, see -- https://salsa.debian.org/debian/dbab/-/commit/eca5bf35dc20843907b3eb0078a7926117bdf0e8 But it is causing the above problem with my conffile files, see https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=995769 I.e., ---- grep: /etc/dbab/dbab.list-: No such file or directory cat: /etc/dbab/dbab.addr: No such file or directory ---- They should be there but they are not during upgrade. And the fix I got was: > fix the "rm -f /etc/dnsmasq.d/dbab.*" line in > > > the 1.3.3-1 postrm. and that's what I did, instead removing them manually in postrm with `rm`, I used `dpkg-maintscript-helper rm_conffile` instead. And now I'm at W: maintainer-script-should-not-use-dpkg-maintscript-helper I.e., I've gone through a full circle. Someone give detailed help please. thx
