Which part of policy are you concerned about? On its face, this seems precisely correct. postrm should unwind the changes which are made by maintainer scripts during installation. It is explicitly not responsible for removing files which are contained in the .deb: dpkg does this itself. So if the depmod output is created in postinst, removing it in postrm is the right thing to do. -- - mdz -- Package contains generated module maps https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/250511 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
