Package: postgresql-9.6 Version: 9.6.1-2.pgdg80+1 Severity: minor File: postgres
Dear Maintainer, when removing PostgreSQL (9.5/9.6) using "apt-get purge", not only the configuration files get removed, but also all database files are wiped off the disk. Manpage of apt-get says: > purge > purge is identical to remove except that packages are removed and > purged (any configuration files are deleted too). I don't think, it's an expected behavior. There should be a message like: "warning: while removing postgres, directory not empty so not removed" This is common in Debian (schroot and others won't delete chroots). -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.7 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages postgresql-9.6 depends on: ii libc6 2.19-18+deb8u7 ii libgssapi-krb5-2 1.12.1+dfsg-19+deb8u2 ii libldap-2.4-2 2.4.40+dfsg-1+deb8u2 ii libpam0g 1.1.8-3.1+deb8u2 ii libpq5 9.6.1-2.pgdg80+1 ii libssl1.0.0 1.0.1t-1+deb8u5 ii libsystemd0 215-17+deb8u6 ii libxml2 2.9.1+dfsg1-5+deb8u4 ii locales 2.19-18+deb8u7 ii postgresql-client-9.6 9.6.1-2.pgdg80+1 ii postgresql-common 178.pgdg80+1 ii ssl-cert 1.0.35 ii tzdata 2016j-0+deb8u1 Versions of packages postgresql-9.6 recommends: ii postgresql-contrib-9.6 9.6.1-2.pgdg80+1 ii sysstat 11.0.1-1 Versions of packages postgresql-9.6 suggests: pn locales-all <none> -- no debconf information _______________________________________________ Pkg-postgresql-public mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-postgresql-public
