Bug#587272: warning from defoma: It is recommended to run defoma-app purge gs

[Till Kamppeter]

I have fixed the problem in the Ubuntu package (8.71.dfsg.2-0ubuntu8), 
simply following the warning, adding


defoma-app purge gs

to the ghostscript.preinst script after all other defoma clean-up. Now 
the installation of this ghostscript package eliminates the defoma 
warning for all future package installations.


debdiff attached.

Bug#587272: warning from defoma: It is recommended to run defoma-app purge gs

[Thomas Arendsen Hein]

Package: gs
Version: 8.64~dfsg-1+squeeze1
Severity: normal


Just a quick me too:

Setting up ttf-tiresias (0.1-1.1) ...
W: gs is already removed. It is recommended to run defoma-app purge gs.
Updating fontconfig cache for /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-tiresias

 and a possible explanation:

Description: Transitional package
 This dummy package is provided for a smooth transition from the
 previous gs package (the package name has been changed to ghostscript).
 It may safely be removed after installation.

After I purged this package, I did not get further defoma warnings when
installing and removing another ttf font package.

Regards,
Thomas
