Hi Balbir, I've tested it on our package in oneiric. Without the patch, running cgclear on any busy system without having it exit with error is basically impossible. Since cgclear must run successfully before the package is willing to remove itself, that prevents people from being able to remove the package. Test case should be pretty simple - start a task in a child of the default cgroup; have that task do a slow forkbomb; start cgclear; have the child exit; cgclear should return an error. To maximize the chances of the timing working out, you could have it be the only child cgroup, and make sure there are a lot of tasks.
