[Piuparts-devel] Bug#638832: piuparts: logcheck test doesn't work on Ubuntu, where adduser is already installed

[Stefano Rivera]

Package: piuparts
Version: 0.40
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

The "crude hack" for installing and removing logrotate breaks with an
Ubuntu chroot, where adduser will already be installed.

Here's a replacement for the hack.

It changes the order that logrotate is removed in. I assume that isn't a
problem?

Another possible option is to use apt-get's --auto-remove, but I don't
know how good an idea that would be in the cleanup function.
