Bug#253413: /etc/apache-perl not purged

2004-06-09 Thread Alejandro Exojo
Package: apache-perl
Version: 1.3.31-1
Severity: normal

When purging apache-perl, dpkg complained about /etc/apache-perl,
because it isn't empty. The same applies to apache-ssl:

--8
Removing apache-perl ...
Purging configuration files for apache-perl ...
dpkg - warning: while removing apache-perl, directory `/etc/apache-perl'
not empty so not removed.
Removing apache-ssl ...
Purging configuration files for apache-ssl ...
dpkg - warning: while removing apache-ssl, directory `/etc/apache-ssl'
not empty so not removed.
-8--

Thanks.

This is not a bug. If there are files in /etc/apache-perl or apache-ssl
that do not belong to the package the directories must NOT be removed.
