hi, i generate a config file in my postinst, hence it's not marked as a conffile. so if the package is purged i have to remove it by hand in the postinst: # purge the config file which is created in the postinst script if [ "$1" = purge ] ; then rm /etc/modlogan/modlogan.conf fi
ok, i've done this. when i now --purge it i get the following: rm: cannot remove `/etc/modlogan/modlogan.conf': No such file or directory after a look at the strace output it tries to remove it twice, but can't really say why, maybe i overlooked something. is there something i don't know but which must be in one of the install/remove scripts? thanks Othmar
