Bug#358364: postrm not idempotent
Package: xml-core Version: 0.09 Severity: serious If your try to run the postrm twice (which it is required to handle correctly by policy 6.2) you get the following error: Removing xml-core ... Purging configuration files for xml-core ... rmdir: xml-core: No such file or directory dpkg: error processing xml-core (--purge): subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 1 Also the "cd -" afterwards is very fragile since you can't really depend on this directory to exist. The postrm should probably not fail if it doesn't.
