Hi,
I have been made aware (as of #809527) that libssl moved from one so to
another without a db_purge in its postist (which could be the official
way to get rid of it). So I see now:
| $ grep libssl /var/cache/debconf/config.dat|grep ^Owners | sort -u
| Owners: libssl1.0.0
| Owners: libssl1.0.2
| Owners: libssl1.1
I believe I should get rid of them. In the meantime libssl3t64 has no
postinst.
What would be the preferred way of removing this entries? db_purge in
postist would consider only _this_ package but this one should take care
of the old ones.
Sebastian
