[Debian-eeepc-devel] Bug#469556: all scripts in /etc/acpi should do nothing when the package is removed

[Damyan Ivanov]

Package: acpi-support
Version: 0.103-5
Severity: normal

Hi,

When acpi-support is removed, all scripts in /etc/acpi continue to
function. This makes it impossible for eeepc-acpi-scripts, which
provides similar functionality, to use Conflicts: and count that this
would be enough to disable acpi-support's scripts from firing.

This is contrary to how init.d scripts and cron fragments handle package
reoval.


If you like, I can prepare a patch for SVN that adds

  [ -d /usr/share/acpi-support ] || exit 0

to every script in /etc/acpi. (or, as it is collab-main, I can commit
the change directly).


Thank you for your time.
