Package: pdbv
Version: 2.0.4-1
Followup-For: Bug #192437

Hiya,

I just upgraded to 2.0.4-1 yesterday, and today found the "I ran as root"
 warning in my inbox.

The problem is that...

... I, too, have a "pdbv" file in "/etc/cron.daily/".  This must have
 been created by an earlier version of the pdbv package.

Shouldn't it be cleaned-up/removed by this (and later) versions of the
 pdbv package in the postinst script?
