I think this is sru-worthy. The problem is that debconf was removed in 1.03-23 but it is still called in the postrm. This is simply solved by removing this call (see attached debdiff). The TEST CASE is very simple:
1) Install current wmsun in hardy (1.03-25). 2) Try to purge it. Your package manager will fail. 3) Install the version from -proposed. 4) Purge. It should now succeed. Subscribing motu-sru to require an ack. ** Changed in: wmsun (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium Assignee: (unassigned) => Cesare Tirabassi (norsetto) Status: New => In Progress ** Changed in: wmsun (Ubuntu) Assignee: Cesare Tirabassi (norsetto) => (unassigned) Status: In Progress => Fix Committed ** Attachment added: "debdiff for the sru" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/18619846/wmsun_1.03-25ubuntu0.1.debdiff -- dpkg --purge wmsun never exits https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/284431 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
