Bug#775150: libreoffice-core: removal of libreoffice-core makes directories disappear from libreoffice-common

[Andreas Beckmann <anbe@debian.org>]

Package: libreoffice-core
Version: 1:4.3.3-2
Severity: serious
User: debian-qa@lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts
Control: affects -1 + libreoffice-common

Hi,

during a test with piuparts and DOSE tools I noticed your package causes
removal of files that also belong to another package.

The installation sequence to reproduce this problem is

  apt-get install libreoffice-common
  # (1)
  apt-get install libreoffice-core
  apt-get remove libreoffice-core
  # (2)

The list of installed files at points (1) and (2) should be identical,
but the following files have disappeared:

0m58.4s ERROR: FAIL: After purging files have disappeared:
  /var/spool/libreoffice/        owned by: libreoffice-common
  /var/spool/libreoffice/uno_packages/   owned by: libreoffice-common
  /var/spool/libreoffice/uno_packages/cache/     owned by: libreoffice-common

This is caused by libreoffice-core.postrm which does

    if [ "$1" = "remove" ]; then
        rm -rf /var/spool/libreoffice
    fi


cheers,

Andreas
