Package: base-files Version: 5 /usr/share/doc/base-files/README.base says that one of the things that must be done to remove the old 'base' package is: # 4. Remove all the files matching "/var/lib/dpkg/info/base.*".
However, the provided shell script /usr/share/doc/base-files/remove-base does this: rm -f /var/lib/dpkg/base.* The effect is that it silently doesn't remove the files it ought to, and base-files' postinst will continue to nag about the existence of the base package. I only noticed this when I recently upgraded to lenny and got nagged at when I knew I'd dealt with 'base' last upgrade cycle... -- PMM -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
