Package: mlocate
Version: 1.1.10-2
Severity: normal
I have noticed that some cruft remained on the system after purging the
mlocate package, namely
- a dangling symlink
/etc/systemd/system/timers.target.wants/mlocate.timer
- a statoverride for /usr/bin/mlocate in the dpkg database
The postrm script in mlocate version 0.26-5 cleaned these up on purge,
for the transitional package it might make more sense to do it in the
postinst.
See the attached log file which reproduces the problems in a throwaway
chroot (install mlocate 0.26-5, upgrade to 1.1.10-2 and purge the
package).
