Bug#695268: liblockfile1: harmful remove action in M-A:same package
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA256 Hi, I looked at the package and am baffled by the postinst and postrm scripts. They are (should be?) entirely useless (manually calling ldconfig ??). I then brought up debian/rules and immediately saw what the reason for that method is: Complete ignorance of debhelper or anything else allowing anyone but the maintainer to cope with the packaging work in a reasonable way. I am reporting this issue as a wishlist bug because I think maintainers should try to not make life for other contributors harder than necessary. And re-working the paackge with proper debhelper code would certainly also fix this issue. - -nik - -- * mirabilos is handling my post-1990 smartphone * mirabilos Aaah, it vibrates!

Bug#695268: liblockfile1: harmful remove action in M-A:same package
Package: liblockfile1 Version: 1.09-4 Severity: serious Steps taken: Install liblockfile1:amd64. Observe that it ships /usr/share/doc/liblockfile1. Install liblockfile1:i386. Observe that /usr/share/doc/liblockfile1 is still correctly there. Remove liblockfile1:i386, but not liblockfile1:amd64. Now The doc dir is gone. This is due to the postinst shipped by liblockfile1. I do not understand why liblockfile1 removes /usr/share/doc/liblockfile1 during postrm remove as I would expect it to be removed by dpkg if necessary.
