hey d-d, it was recently brought to my attention that the documented method for using the dbconfig-common hooks in a maintainer's postrm script was non-compliant wrt policy 7.2. policy stipulates that packages can not require use of programs from any non-essential packages in the postrm/purge phase. unfortunately, the example packages used as guidelines didn't make any checks to safeguard this, so i suspect most/all of the packages using dbconfig-common do not either. since these are rc-bugs, i don't think the lintian route is the correct path and plan to file the bugs in the next few days. fwiw, below are the affected package(r)s according to grep-aptavail/dd-list. sean Cameron Dale <camrdale@gmail.com> torrentflux David Gil <dgil@telefonica.net> acidbase phpgacl John Goerzen <jgoerzen@complete.org> bacula Debian Nagios Maintainer Group <pkg-nagios-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org> nagios Thijs Kinkhorst <thijs@debian.org> serendipity Debian DSPAM Maintainers <pkg-dspam-misc@lists.alioth.debian.org> dspam Zabbix Maintainers <kobold-zabbix@debian.org> zabbix Miguel Gea Milvaques <xerakko@debian.org> mydms Tim Peeler <thp@linuxforce.net> webcalendar Craig Small <csmall@debian.org> jffnms Radu Spineanu <radu@debian.org> simba Alexis Sukrieh <sukria@sukria.net> bugzilla OndÅ?ej Surý <ondrej@debian.org> postfix-policyd Torsten Werner <twerner@debian.org> otrs2 sean finney <seanius@debian.org> cacti cacti-cactid Debian Tikiwiki team <pkg-tikiwiki-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org> tikiwiki --
