Re: The handling of piupart failures.
Dear all,
I can deliver at least a diagnosis to the benefit of our edification!

I am reading that last logging report, and I must draw this conclusion:
* There is no visible command execution that would correspond to
# apt-get --purge remove adduser cron libpopt0 logrotate
or rather "dpkg --purge" for each of these individual packages.
* Therefore the corresponding configuration files are still present
in the chroot and Piuparts must report a failure due to a non-empty
root directory.
The impression I get is that Piuparts simply forgets to perform a purge
on packages brought in by dependency from the file content scan. Right?
I might be mistaken, but my lack of knowledge with the inner mechanics
of Piuparts leaves me only this explanation to fit the published log file.
Hopefully this will help in further analysis.
Best regards,
Mats E A
