[Piuparts-devel] Bug#440310: left files not reported correctly with --warn-on-others

[Lucas Nussbaum]

Package: piuparts
Version: 0.25
Severity: important

Hi,

With --warn-on-others, left files are not reported correctly. 

Fact:
I ran piuparts over 7000+ packages, and none of them failed because
of left files. (but I got lots of "INFO:" lines about them)

Analysis (after discussing this with ana):
piuparts checks for left over files after purge. This means that
/var/lib/dpkg/info/packagename.list is not available anymore.
So all files from removed packages will be reported as 'not owned'. And
you can't compare that with the package names from the command line
anymore.

Thank you,
