This will only happen when a package ith bad dependency is installed and installs a md5sum file though.

No, I can't, since when prerm is invoked .md5sums entries are still in /var/lib/ocaml/md5sums/. Still this is not a problem, invoking it on postrm only if ocaml-md5sums is available is fine since as long as it is not available .md5sums entries are useless. As soon as it will get re-installed the registry will be updated again. > It is probably not there, but why if it was not there, and some random > packages does a : > > cp stuff /var/lib/ocaml/md5sums It was there since the error reported was "not a directory" rather than "no such file or directory:". But as Christian reported he probably created that file by hand. All should be fixed now, I'm rebuilding the package right now. -- Stefano Zacchiroli -*- Computer Science PhD student @ Uny Bologna, Italy [EMAIL PROTECTED],debian.org,bononia.it} -%- http://www.bononia.it/zack/ If there's any real truth it's that the entire multidimensional infinity of the Universe is almost certainly being run by a bunch of maniacs. -!- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Yes. I tried several things before I filed the bug, so I did not start out with a clean system. But I think you could easily reproduce the problem.

It is probably not there, but why if it was not there, and some random packages does a : cp stuff /var/lib/ocaml/md5sums expecting it to be a dir, this would end in it being a file.

This bug report shows two different problems: 1) ocaml-md5sums may be not available when postrm scripts are invoked 2) /var/lib/ocaml/md5sums is not a directory I fixed (1) and upload is pending. I can't understand (2). /var/lib/ocaml/md5sums/ is a directory and several ocaml related packages install stuff under that directory. I can understand if the directory is no longer there when some postrm scripts are executed (and I fixed the faulty behaviour of ocaml-md5sums in that case), but I can't understand how it comes /var/lib/ocaml/md5sums is something else than a directory. Have you toch-ed it trying to fix the postrm problem (like you did a few lines below in your report)?
