Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package failed to purge.

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

  Removing firebird2.1-server-common ...
  Purging configuration files for firebird2.1-server-common ...
  rmdir: failed to remove `/var/lib/firebird/2.1/system': No such file or directory
  rmdir: failed to remove `/var/lib/firebird/2.1': No such file or directory
  rmdir: failed to remove `/var/lib/firebird': No such file or directory
  dpkg: error processing firebird2.1-server-common (--purge):
   subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 1
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   firebird2.1-server-common

Running the postrm with set -x results in

  Removing firebird2.1-server-common ...
  Purging configuration files for firebird2.1-server-common ...
  + set -eu
  + VER=2.1
  + SYS_DB_DIR=/var/lib/firebird/2.1/system
  + SEC_DB=/var/lib/firebird/2.1/system/security.fdb
  + RUN=/var/run/firebird/2.1
  + rm -f /var/lib/firebird/2.1/system/security.fdb
  + rmdir --ignore-fail-on-non-empty /var/lib/firebird/2.1/system /var/lib/firebird/2.1 /var/lib/firebird
  rmdir: failed to remove `/var/lib/firebird/2.1/system': No such file or directory
  rmdir: failed to remove `/var/lib/firebird/2.1': No such file or directory
  rmdir: failed to remove `/var/lib/firebird': No such file or directory
  dpkg: error processing firebird2.1-server-common (--purge):
   subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 1
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   firebird2.1-server-common

So it's actually the rmdir command failing.


cheers,

Andreas
