[Pkg-php-pecl] Bug#746356: php5-json: fails to purge - command in postrm not found

[Holger Levsen]

Package: php5-json
Version: 1.3.4-3
Severity: important
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts

Hi, 

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package failed to purge due to a 
command not found. 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 php5-json (1.3.4-3) ...
  Purging configuration files for php5-json (1.3.4-3) ...
  /var/lib/dpkg/info/php5-json.postrm: 13: /var/lib/dpkg/info/php5-
json.postrm: php5dismod: not found
  dpkg: error processing package php5-json (--purge):
   subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 127
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   php5-json

Please note that this bug currently prevents 128 packages (but 554 
potentially!) in sid alone from being tested by piuparts.debian.org, so fixing 
this soon would be appreciated. This is being shown at

cheers,
