Well, a release goal demands severity important. You may want to confirm this with the Release managers, I may be wrong. > > /var/lib/xapian-omega owned by: xapian-omega > > /var/lib/xapian-omega/templates not owned > > /var/lib/xapian-omega/templates/anyalldropbox not owned > > /var/lib/xapian-omega/templates/anyallradio not owned > > /var/lib/xapian-omega/templates/godmode not owned > > /var/lib/xapian-omega/templates/opensearch not owned > > /var/lib/xapian-omega/templates/query not owned > > /var/lib/xapian-omega/templates/toptermsjs not owned > > /var/lib/xapian-omega/templates/xml not owned > > The problem seems to be that xapian-omega.prerm contains: > > if [ "$1" = purge ] ; then > rm -rf /var/lib/xapian-omega/templates > fi > > But it's postrm that gets called with purge according to the developers > reference, not prerm. Well, the release goal dictates that a purge must result in removal of all files and directories belonging to that package. Therefore, I presume that this should imply that the postrm must also get rid of these files. Of course, please confirm this with a release manager in charge of this task (Luk Claes) if you are unsure. Thanks!
