Hi, Carlos Putting the removal code only in prerm without extra checkings should suffice. I was confused and did in preinst, but prerm is the right place after policy manual, since it is run both in upgrades and in removals. I have been trying to check if the upgrade from the buggy package to a fixed one works with only the prerm change, or needs some ad-hoc stuff, but funnily I cannot reproduce the problem today. Reinstalling fp-compiler 2.0.0-2 over and over, which should have triggered this problem, is working well. Surprise...
