Bug#656355: unison2.32.52-gtk: does not remove unison-gtk alternative



Package: unison2.32.52-gtk
Version: 2.32.52-4
Severity: important
User: debian-qa@lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts

Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package left unowned files on
the system after purge, which is a violation of policy 6.8 (or 10.8):

http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-maintainerscripts.html#s-removedetails

Filing this as important as having a piuparts clean archive is a release
goal since lenny.

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

0m23.6s ERROR: WARN: Broken symlinks:
  /etc/alternatives/unison-gtk.1.gz -> /usr/share/man/man1/unison-2.32.52-gtk.1.gz
  /etc/alternatives/unison-gtk -> /usr/bin/unison-2.32.52-gtk

  /usr/share/man/man1/unison-gtk.1.gz -> /etc/alternatives/unison-gtk.1.gz

  /etc/alternatives/unison-gtk.1.gz	 not owned
  /usr/bin/unison-gtk	 not owned
  /usr/share/man/man1/unison-gtk.1.gz	 not owned


The alternative needs to be removed in the 'prerm remove'
or 'postrm remove' step using
  update-alternatives --remove ...


The same problem affects the unison-gtk and unison2.27.57-gtk packages.


cheers,

Andreas
