Bug#984630: python3-waitress: leaves alternatives after upgrade: /etc/alternatives/waitress-serve -> /usr/bin/waitress-serve-python3
Package: python3-waitress Version: 1.4.4-1 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#details-of-removal-and-or-configuration-purging The leftover files are actually alternatives that were installed by the package but have not been properly removed. Filing this as important as having a piuparts clean archive is a release goal since lenny. >From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...): 1m8.4s INFO: Warning: Package purging left files on system: /etc/alternatives/waitress-serve -> /usr/bin/waitress-serve-python3not owned The preinst script already has the code to clean up the alternative, but that does not get called because the preint script is never called with the argument "configure". Please trigger this cleanup in "upgrade" instead. cheers, Andreas python3-waitress_1.4.4-1.log.gz Description: application/gzip
