Package: mldonkey-server
Version: 3.1.3-1
Severity: serious

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
When purging this package it will remove /var/lib/mldonkey/incoming, shared and temp directories even when they're not empty. A user purging the package will loose all their files in these directories. I've set serious severity since I think this shouldn't ever happen. I've lost some files I was sharing because of this.

Then, do not purge the package.

The mail spool is a special case. According to the Debian Policy 11.6,
"[it] is part of the base system and not part of the MTA package".

A situation similar to mldonkey could be PostgreSQL, then: when purged,
it deletes databases without warning.

Now I think purging should not even fail if this directory is not empty.
Therefore, I'm closing this bug.
