hey mentors i'm working on a package that has a directory in /etc/sugarplum and in this directory two conffiles and one other (empty) directory. when i purge the package, i get:
balthasar[/home/seanius/sugarplum]13:17:02# dpkg --purge sugarplum
(Reading database ... 69541 files and directories currently installed.)
Removing sugarplum ...
dpkg - warning: while removing sugarplum, directory `/etc/sugarplum' not empty
so not removed.
Purging configuration files for sugarplum ...
and if i don't do anything about it, afterwards the /etc/sugarplum
directory remains. what's the best way to not leave cruft behind
like that? right now i have a little snippet of code that checks for
an empty sugarplum directory in a postrm purge, which works, but i'm
not sure it's how it ought to be done.
thanks,
sean
