I don't understand. dpkg won't try to remove a directory owned by two packages if you remove one of them. Cheers, Julien signature.asc Description: Digital signature

It isn't done by dpkg but by postrm of hylafax-server package in this way: [ -d /var/spool/hylafax/etc ] rm -rf /var/spool/hylafax/etc [ -L /var/spool/hylafax/bin ] rm /var/spool/hylafax/bin for i in /etc/hylafax/setup.cache /etc/hylafax/setup.modem \ /var/spool/hylafax/status/any.info /var/spool/hylafax/dev/null \ /var/spool/hylafax/FIFO /var/spool/hylafax/bin/ps2fax \ /var/spool/hylafax/bin/pdf2fax /var/spool/hylafax/bin/bin \ /etc/default/hylafax do [ -e $i -o -L $i ] rm $i done [ -d /var/spool/hylafax/bin ] rmdir --ignore-fail-on-non-empty /var/spool/hylafax/bin With hylafax 6.0.6-5 the postrm script do not remove /var/spool/hylafax anymore. So capi4hylafax have the chance to use this directory without problems. --- Have a nice day.

To manage all the different cases the only way is the handling in the pre* post* scripts of capi4hylafax. I hope these information helps. I think Giuseppe could explain some more details in better english. --- Have a nice day.
