[PKG-Openstack-devel] Bug#814638: astute: unowned files after purge (policy 6.8, 10.8): /etc/astute/astuted.conf, /var/{lib, log}/astute/

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: astute
Version: 7.0+dfsg1-1
Severity: important
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts

Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package left unowned files on
the system after purge, which is a violation of policy 6.8 (or 10.8):

https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-maintainerscripts.html#s-removedetails

Filing this as important as having a piuparts clean archive is a release
goal since lenny.

>From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):

1m21.4s ERROR: FAIL: Package purging left files on system:
  /etc/astute/	 not owned
  /etc/astute/astuted.conf	 not owned
  /var/lib/astute/	 not owned
  /var/lib/astute/cache/	 not owned
  /var/log/astute/	 not owned


If the package would ship the directories as empty directories, dpkg would take
care of the creation and removal (if they are empty).


cheers,

Andreas
