Bug#895823: cannot purge dovecot-common

This broke my dovecot install with a delay of several days (maybe linked to log rotation interval, when dovecot is instructed to read configuration files again?) In my opinion, this warrants a higher severity for the bug. > this, I stumbled over this: > stagemail:/etc/dovecot# dpkg -P dovecot-common Indeed, the "rm -f" of dovecot.conf is in dovecot-common's purge action in the postrm file. It looks like every purge attempt will delete the configuration file again (!) -- Lionel
Bug#895823: cannot purge dovecot-common
Package: dovecot-core Version: 1:2.2.27-3+deb9u2 The unattended upgrades removed my dovecot.conf file. Examining this, I stumbled over this: stagemail:/etc/dovecot# dpkg -P dovecot-common (Reading database ... 55196 files and directories currently installed.) Purging configuration files for dovecot-common (1:1.2.15-7) ... ucfr: Association belongs to dovecot-core, not dovecot-common ucfr: Aborting dpkg: error processing package dovecot-common (--purge): subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 5 Errors were encountered while processing: dovecot-common Regards Harri
