Piuparts worked with g-golf before but now it gives an error with package g-golf-gtk-4-examples_0.8.7-3_all.deb. The error occurs in the removal of the packages. The error is: ---cut here--- 1m47.2s ERROR: FAIL: Package purging left files on system: /etc/systemd/system/autovt@.service -> /usr/lib/systemd/system/getty@.service not owned 1m47.2s ERROR: FAIL: After purging files have been modified: / not owned 1m47.2s ERROR: FAIL: Installation and purging test. ---cut here--- Steps to reproduce the error: 1. Install git-buildpackage and sbuild if you don't have them already. 2. If you have package g-golf installed to your system uninstall it. 3. Create a new work directory and cd into it. 4. Create file build.sh with the following contents: ---cut here--- #!/bin/sh sbuild -s -d unstable --source-only-changes \ --run-lintian \ --lintian-opt=-I --lintian-opt=--pedantic $* ---cut here--- 5. Run the following commands: ---cut here--- chmod +x build.sh sudo apt-get build-dep g-golf mkdir build-area gbp clone https://salsa.debian.org/tohoyn-guest/g-golf.git cd g-golf gbp buildpackage --git-builder=$(pwd)/../build.sh cd ../build-area sudo piuparts --shell-on-error g-golf-gtk-4-examples_0.8.7-3_all.deb dpkg -S /etc/systemd/system/autovt@.service ls -l /etc/systemd/system/autovt@.service readlink -f /etc/systemd/system/autovt@.service exit ---cut here--- Expected results: The piuparts tests should pass. Actual results: Piuparts reports the error described before. Commands in point 4 show that /etc/systemd/system/autovt@.service is not owned by any package but it is present in the system. This bug has been reproduced in an up-to-date Debian unstable environment. -- System Information: Debian Release: forky/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 7.0.9+deb14-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=fi_FI.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fi_FI.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages piuparts depends on: ii debsums 3.0.2.4 ii libjs-sphinxdoc 9.1.0-3 ii lsb-release 12.1-2 ii lsof 4.99.4+dfsg-2 ii mount 2.42-6 ii piuparts-common 1.6.0 ii python3 3.13.9-3+b1 ii python3-debian 1.1.0 Versions of packages piuparts recommends: ii adequate 0.17.6+b1 ii debootstrap 1.0.143 ii mmdebstrap 1.5.7-3 Versions of packages piuparts suggests: pn docker.io <none> ii schroot 1.6.13-8 ii uidmap 1:4.19.3-2 -- no debconf information ]
