[PKG-Openstack-devel] Bug#842075: glare-common: unowned directories after purge: /var/lib/glance, /var/lib/glance/*, /var/log/glance

[Ivan Udovichenko]

Hi Andreas,

Thank you for finding this issue!

Actually those folder are created by glance-store component [1].
Also Glance package creates /var/lib/glance/* itself [2].

I'm thinking of moving this logic to glance-store as both packages
depend on it. But it is better to discuss it with the OS team.
