reopen 341426 thanks On Thu, Dec 15, 2005 at 09:33:31AM -0800, Debian Bug Tracking System wrote: > epos (1:2.5.36-4) unstable; urgency=low > . > * QA upload. > * Add a dependency on perl, ensuring that all modules required for > "deluser --remove-home" are present. (Closes: #341426) Sorry, you're calling deluser from the purge target of the postrm; dependencies do *not* ensure the availability of any non-essential packages at this stage, for the same reason that you have to check for the availability of deluser itself. :) The only fix for this bug is to implement a graceful fallback; preferably, this should be done in cooperation with deluser itself, so that deluser gives a distinguishing error message if perl isn't installed. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world. vorlon@debian.org http://www.debian.org/
