Package: splashy Severity: serious While removing/purging splashy, dpkg complains that it can't remove /lib/splashy because it still contains files, which are:
pluto:~# ll /lib/splashy total 12 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 690 Jan 2 03:15 0-progress -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 887 Jan 2 03:15 2-progress -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 690 Jan 2 03:15 6-progress lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 Jan 2 03:15 S-progress -> /lib/splashy/2-progress You should add a preinst script, which cleans the directory, so dpkg can remove the directory safely. Otherwise the files will be left rotting on the hard disk. I'm filing with severity serious, because imho it is a policy violation, if a package is not correctly cleaned from the system after deinstallation/purging.
