[Pkg-fedora-ds-maintainers] Bug#682847: 389-ds-base: fails to install, remove, and install again

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: 389-ds-base
Version: 1.2.11.7-4
Severity: serious
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts

Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package failed to install,
remove (but not purge), and install again.
Before the second installation the package is in config-files-remaining
state. The configuration is remaining from the last version that was
successfully configured - which is the same version that is going to be
installed again.

Like a plain failure on initial install this makes the package too buggy
for a release, thus the severity.

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

  Selecting previously unselected package 389-ds-base.

the I added 'set -x' to the postinst and ran dpkg --confure --pending:
