Package: zabbix-agent Version: 1:1.8.2-1squeeze2 Severity: important The problem is, after the package is purged in aptitude,it removes correctly the /etc/zabbix folder or the content of this folder, but it seems still there are some files left. If after purge the package should be reinstalled again, then there come some messages "not copying deleted file /etc/zabbix/zabbix-agent.conf" and "not copying deleted file /etc/zabbix/zabbix-agentd.conf" and really such files are not copied there, what causes the zabbix-agent daemon is not started, causes an error and the package stays in uncofigured state. The only fix Ihave found is to: 1. Deinstall the package (not purge it) 2. restore both missing files above in /etc/zabbix from backup 3. install the package again 4. Then it works
So, there will be an error in purge-deinstallation process and possibly also in new-install process for this package. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.1 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-xen-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages zabbix-agent depends on: ii adduser 3.112+nmu2 add and remove users and groups ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.36.1 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.11.2-10 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libldap-2.4-2 2.4.23-7 OpenLDAP libraries ii libopenipmi0 2.0.16-1.2 Intelligent Platform Management In ii lsb-base 3.2-23.2squeeze1 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip ii ucf 3.0025+nmu1 Update Configuration File: preserv zabbix-agent recommends no packages.
