So what I'm guessing has happend is that these were busted symlinks from sometime ago. And since the links point outside the currently supported inidir (which is /etc/php/7.0/mods-available as you noted), the purge/remove scripts are refusing to delete them. The packaging is basically treating those links like user-local customization, correctly.
I am unable to reproduce the issue with 16.04 release, can you confirm that? On purge, I do get a warning: dpkg: warning: while removing libapache2-mod-php7.0, directory '/etc/php/7.0/apache2/conf.d' not empty so not removed which might be the problem you are seeing too (and dpkg is doing its best to tell you manual intervention is necessary). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1578225 Title: apache2 php7.0 conf.d links To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php7.0/+bug/1578225/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
