[Piuparts-devel] Bug#559548: piuparts: ignore ucf files on purge after depends have been purged

[Patrick Schoenfeld]

Package: piuparts
Version: 0.37
Severity: normal

Hi,

if a package uses ucf it will be reported as buggy, because
the purge test purges all depends (including ucf) and the package
is therefore unable to unregister its configuration files from ucf.
This will leave changed files in /var/lib/ucf.
I'm more then unhappy that this is the situation, but as we are not
allowed to mess with other packages files there is no possibility
to workaround it.

So, for now, piuparts should ignore the files in /var/lib/ucf.

Best Regards,
Patrick
