Bug#720146: elmer: fails to remove: rmdir: failed to remove '/usr/share/ElmerGUI/edf': Directory not empty

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: elmer
Version: 7.0.svn.6034+dfsg-2
Severity: serious
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts

Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package fails to remove.

>From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):

  Removing elmer ...
  rmdir: failed to remove '/usr/share/ElmerGUI/edf': Directory not empty
  dpkg: error processing elmer (--remove):
   subprocess installed pre-removal script returned error exit status 1


Instead of managing that directory manually I would recommend shipping
it (empty) and letting dpkg care for creation and removal.


cheers,

Andreas
