[Deborphan-devel] Bug#784087: deborphan misses some packages (dummy, residual config)

[Raphaël Halimi]

Package: deborphan
Version: 1.7.28.8-0.1
Severity: normal

When trying to clean-up after a wheezy -> jessie upgrade, I stumbled on
some packages that deborphan missed:

$ deborphan --guess-only --guess-dummy

...returns nothing, but:

$ dpkg -l | grep ^ii | grep -i dummy
ii  ttf-dejavu-core 2.34-1 all transitional dummy package

Likewise:

$ deborphan --find-config

...returns nothing, but:

$ dpkg -l | grep ^rc
rc  foomatic-filters 4.0.17-1 amd64 OpenPrinting printer support - filters

Relevant parts of /var/lib/dpkg/status:

Description: OpenPrinting printer support - filters
 Foomatic is a printer database designed to make it easier to set up
 common printers for use with UNIX-like operating systems.
 It provides the "glue" between a print spooler (like CUPS or lpr) and
 the printer, by processing files sent to the printer.
 .
 This package consists of filters used by the printer spoolers
 to convert the incoming PostScript data into the printer's native
 format using a printer-specific, but spooler-independent PPD file.
 .
 For use with CUPS, you will need both the cups and cups-client
 packages installed on your system.
