Bug#681198: libgtk-3-0: removal of libgtk-3-0 makes files disappear from libgtk-3-common

It was probably a big hammer to cleanup /etc/gtk-2.0 from generated files like loaders as you suggest; this is probably long obsolete. I suggest removing the rm -rf; the /etc files should all be conffiles at this point; if this causes any issue, we can add a set of more targeted rm-s. -- Loïc Minier -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Sounds like a plan. If something needs a manual rm, piuparts will find some leftover files and I'll file new bugs :-) Andreas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Especially for libraries I guess it's a bit tricky if they generate cache or temporary files during runtime. I don't think that's the case here for Gtk+ though What we wont catch with piuparts are leftover files from very old upgrades (e.g. people who have installed gtk+ years ago and have upgraded to new releases) -- Loïc Minier -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

But after installation a program/library can only create cruft in /etc/ or /var if it's run as root (or is setuid or so). And I have seen a few packages creating cruft in /root during installation (and filed bugs accordingly) ...

Both libgtk2.0-0 and libgtk-3.0 contain in postrm: case $1 in purge) rm -rf /@CONFDIR@ ;; esac This code was copied from libgtk2.0-0 over to libgtk-3-0. I can't find the original reason in the changelog / svn log anymore, but I *think* it was due to the cache files /etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders and /etc/gtk-2.0/gtk.immodules which have long been moved elsewhere.
