Bug#348224: x11-common: leaves /etc/init.d/x11-common on disk after purge
Package: xfree86-common,x11-common
Version: 6.9.0.dfsg.1-3
I found the following problem while testing, with piuparts, upgrades
from sarge via etch to sid of xfree86-common. The bug itself may instead
be in x11-common, which, however, didn't exist in sarge as far as I can
tell.
The problem, as reported by piuparts, is this:
1m58.9s ERROR: Package purging left files on system:
/etc/init.d/x11-common
/etc/rcS.d/S70x11-common
I've checked it with a manual upgrade from sarge in a chroot. I couldn't
figure out in a brief examination where the bug actually is: the X
packaging is big and daunting (which is fine, given the size and
importance of the package), and I didn't have the time to look at it in
detail.
The piuparts log file is about 170 kilobytes; if it helps, I'll be happy
to mail it, but due to the size I'm not attaching it here. The command
used for testing was:
sudo piuparts -ab sarge.tar.gz -d sarge -d etch -d sid xfree86-common
(where sarge.tar.gz is a tarball of the chroot containing a base sarge
installation with minor modifications to configuration files, used for
optimization, leave the "b sarge.tar.gz" part away to try it without a
tarball).
