Package: apt Version: 0.7.9 Severity: important Tags: patch User: debian-release@lists.debian.org Usertags: piuparts-stable-upgrade piuparts-stable-upgrade-20071130 Hi! I have been analyzing packages for the piuparts test, and have observed that ~900 packages fail the piuparts because apt doesn't purge the /var/log/apt/term.log file. The gzipped log of the piuparts run for adacgi (just as an example) is attached. The problem is that the process Install Stable adacgi -> upgrade to sid -> purge lets /var/log/apt/term.log remain unremoved. However, it should be removed, I guess. Please consider fixing this bug, as it is a Lenny release recommendation. [1]. I have attached a patch which attempst to do this. Thanks.
