Package: l2tp-ipsec-vpn Version: 1.0.7-1 Severity: serious User: debian...@lists.debian.org Usertags: piuparts
Hi,
during a test with piuparts I noticed your package removes files that
were installed by another package.
The removed files were already present before the package was installed,
they may have been shipped or created by a dependency.
This could be a violation of policy 10.7.4 ("Sharing configuration
files"), see
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-files.html#s10.7.4
or policy chapter 6 ("Package maintainer scripts..."), see
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-maintainerscripts.html
or policy 7.6 ("Overwriting files..."), see
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#s-replaces
If a directory is used by several packages, all should ship it as part
of the package (possibly empty, using $package.dirs to create it), and
no package should mkdir/rmdir it in the maintainer scripts as dpkg will
take care of this.
>From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):
1m2.9s ERROR: FAIL: After purging files have disappeared:
/etc/ipsec.conf owned by: openswan
/etc/ipsec.secrets owned by: openswan
/etc/xl2tpd/xl2tpd.conf owned by: xl2tpd
cheers,
