Didn't seem to have been the case here, looking at my /var/log/apt/term.log (all from one run): Removing unrar-free (1:0.0.1+cvs20140707-4+b1) ... Removing update-inetd (4.51) ... Removing usbmuxd (1.1.1-2) ... ... [snipsnap] ... Purging configuration files for aspell-en (2018.04.16-0-1) ... Purging configuration files for update-inetd (4.51) ... Purging configuration files for rpm (4.16.1.2+dfsg1-0.6) ... https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html seems to say: The meaning of the five dependency fields is as follows: Depends ... Finally, the Depends field should be used if the depended-on package is needed by the postrm script to fully clean up after the package removal. There is no guarantee that package dependencies will be available when postrm is run, but the depended-on package is more likely to be available if the package declares a dependency (particularly in the case of postrm remove). The postrm script must gracefully skip actions that require a dependency if that dependency isn’t available. > > Can you please expand this bug from the system on which the error > occurred using report-bug.
