Package: libpetsc3.7-dev Version: 3.7.5+dfsg1-3 Severity: important User: debian...@lists.debian.org Usertags: piuparts
Hi, during a test with piuparts I noticed your package left unowned files on the system after purge, which is a violation of policy 6.8: https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-maintainerscripts.html#s-removedetails The leftover files are actually alternatives that were installed by the package but have not been properly removed. This was observed after a stretch->sid upgrade, the packages in stretch and sid itself work fine. Therefore I assume you obsoleted some alternative in the sid package. To clean this up, you should unregister the obsolete alternative in the postinst script. >From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...): 2m18.4s INFO: Warning: Package purging left files on system: /etc/alternatives/petsc3.7 -> /usr/lib/petscdir/3.7.4/x86_64-linux-gnu-real not owned /etc/alternatives/petsc3.7-real -> /usr/lib/petscdir/3.7.4/x86_64-linux-gnu-real not owned /usr/lib/petscdir/ owned by: libpetsc3.7.5-dev:amd64, libpetsc3.7.4-dev:amd64 /usr/lib/petscdir/3.7 -> /etc/alternatives/petsc3.7 not owned /usr/lib/petscdir/3.7-real -> /etc/alternatives/petsc3.7-real not owned cheers, Andreas
