Package: graphite-api
Version: 1.1-1
Severity: important

Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package failed to purge.
According to policy 7.2 you cannot rely on the depends being available
during purge, only the essential packages are available for sure.

Filing this as important because a.) it's a clear policy violation (to
not clean up at purge) b.) having a piuparts clean archive is a release
goal since lenny and c.) this package being piuparts buggy blocks
packages depending on it from being tested by piuparts (and thus
possibly the detection of more severe problems).

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

  Removing graphite-api (1.1-1) ...
  Purging configuration files for graphite-api (1.1-1) ...
  rm: cannot remove '/var/log/graphite-api /var/lib/graphite-api': No such file or directory
  dpkg: error processing package graphite-api (--purge):
   subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 1
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   graphite-api


Looks like you have some superfluous quoting ...


cheers,

Andreas
