Hi

I just got this bugreport and I agree that it is a problem.

However I want your opinion whether this is serious or not. Especially
as it is a bit tricky to get ntop into etch, because of the libgd2 dependency
problem while building for some arches.

Regards,

// Ola

Justification: Policy violation, see section 7.2

hi,

while running archive wide piuparts tests your package failed on purge
because of debconf beeing unavailable during postrm:

  Purging configuration files for ntop ...
  /var/lib/dpkg/info/ntop.postrm: line 6: /usr/share/debconf/confmodule: No 
such file or directory
  dpkg: error processing ntop (--purge):
   subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 1
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   ntop

the full log can be found here:

 http://people.debian.org/~abi/piuparts/ntop

please be sure to use a conditional call to debconf and its commands (this is
just an example):

--
 if [ -f /usr/share/debconf/confmodule ]; then
    . /usr/share/debconf/confmodule
 fi

 db_get ||:
--

Please also note: Bugs filed on Packages failing in postrm because of debconf
beeing unavailable are not considered RC for etch, so are tagged etch-ignore.

bye,
