Public bug reported:
I'm using Ubuntu 18.10 dev with dpkg 1.19.0.5ubuntu3 and on
upgrading/downgrading pulseaudio (mainly libpulse0) I noticed that
configuration files were not always be removed correctly. For example
the package libpulse0 1:11.1-1ubuntu8 doesn't contain the directory
/etc/pulse/client.conf.d while the version 1:12.0-1ubuntu1 does contain
it with the file 00-disable-autospawn.conf in it.
On the first pulseaudio upgrade from version 11.1 to 12.0 by executing
"apt-get download libpulse0:amd64 libpulse0:i386 libpulsedsp:amd64
pulseaudio-utils:amd64 pulseaudio:amd64" and "dpkg -i *.deb" (both as
root) all went fine and the directory /etc/pulse/client.conf.d with the
file 00-disable-autospawn.conf was successfully created. However, on
pinning those pulseaudio packages to version 11.1, deleting the old
downloaded .deb packages and executing both commands above again I get
the warning "dpkg: warning: unable to delete old directory
'/etc/pulse/client.conf.d': Directory not empty" in the installation
output and /etc/pulse/client.conf.d with 00-disable-autospawn.conf in it
still exists.
If I remember correctly at some point on upgrading pulseaudio to version 12.0
again I also noticed that the directory /etc/pulse/client.conf.d was existing
but the file 00-disable-autospawn.conf in it was missing but I don't remember
how I got into this state (maybe some sort of follow-up error or I messed just
somehow something up on testing).
