You can list the dspam-related overrides with this command: dpkg-statoverride --list | grep dpsam My guess is that this will come up empty and that the postrm script does not deal with this correctly. From looking at the postrm script of version 3.6.8-8 (Lenny/Sid) I get the impression that this line dpkg-statoverride --quiet --remove /etc/dspam/webfrontend.conf might have be changed to dpkg-statoverride --quiet --remove /etc/dspam/webfrontend.conf || true to make it work. You can edit the script yourself; the file should be here: /var/lib/dpkg/info/dspam-webfrontend.postrm If you cannot fix this on your own then tell us exactly which version of dspam-webfrontend you are trying to purge and which branch of Debian you run. -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
