Correction; I was wrong - this lintian error is correct for a lintian from stable (I confused it with a newer lintian tag). This occurs because you are using debhelper from backports, which uses a trigger instead of maintscript to call ldconfig. The end result is the same for you though - ignore the warning. :) > > After having overridden this lintian error, it turns out it was a bit of > a red herring: piuparts still reports files left after purging. > > [...] Correct, this lintian warning is completely unrelated to your piuparts issue. > > So is the postrm script from shibboleth-sp2-utils not executed? > It is definitely called - if it wasn't, almost everything would be failing on piuparts.d.o and dpkg in stable would completely an utterly broken with us drowning in RC bugs. :) Most likely, there is an issue with either the postrm script OR the helpers used in it. I am not an expert on the helpers, so I cannot help there. Thanks, ~Niels
