Hi, during a test with piuparts I noticed your package removes files that were installed by another package. The removed files were already present before the package was installed, they may have been shipped or created by a dependency. This could be a violation of policy 10.7.4 ("Sharing configuration files"), see https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-files.html#s10.7.4 or policy chapter 6 ("Package maintainer scripts..."), see https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-maintainerscripts.html or policy 7.6 ("Overwriting files..."), see https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#s-replaces If a directory is used by several packages, all should ship it as part of the package (possibly empty, using $package.dirs to create it), and no package should mkdir/rmdir it in the maintainer scripts as dpkg will take care of this. >From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...): 3m19.7s ERROR: FAIL: After purging files have disappeared: /var/cache/samba/ owned by: samba-common-bin, samba-common /var/lib/samba/ owned by: samba, samba-common /var/log/samba/ owned by: samba-common Cheers, Andreas
