Re: [RFC] apt-localepurge - automagically removing unnecessary locale files

[Paul Seelig <pseelig@mail.Uni-Mainz.de>]

There is still at least one thing that really bothers me. When i
remove/purge the "apt-localepurge" package i'm confronted with
following nasty error message:

--------------- snip ------------------
[root]~ > apt-get --purge remove apt-localepurge

E: Problem executing scripts DPkg::Post-Invoke '/usr/sbin/apt-localepurge'
E: Sub-process returned an error code

Ugly, ugly, UGLY, isn't it?

Unfortunately, since "apt-localepurge" is so closely involved with the
packaging system it is invoked itself after it's removal from the
system, resulting in this ugly but harmless error message.  How can i
gracefully prevent it from occurring?

                                   Thanks, P. *8^)
