- There is no such thing as a prerm "purge". - prerm happens /before/ the package is removed from disk, and may be aborted for a number of reasons -- if your change actually did anything, it would leave no rollback path to restore these config files. - since your change doesn't do anything, you're instead leaving orphaned config files on disk even when purged. There are two ways that you can fix this bug sensibly. The first is to call ucf from postrm purge /opportunistically/, by checking first whether the binary is present. The second is to call ucf from postrm remove. The latter is a policy violation, removing config files when /not/ being purged, so the former solution is to be preferred. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
