[Piuparts-devel] piuparts problems (leftover files) in LibreOffice packages and addons

[Andreas Beckmann]

Hi,

while analyzing piuparts failures (you can find the relevant logfiles 
here (look for fail/libreoffice-*.log):
http://piuparts.debian.org/sid/unowned_files_after_purge_error.html

I noticed the following two error schemes:

* files left behind after purge in /var/lib/libreoffice/share, primarly 
  in /var/lib/libreoffice/share/prereg/bundled/registry
* files created and left over in /root/libreoffice which is a serious 
  policy / FHS violation - packages don't have to touch /root when 
  being installed

See below for an example list of leftover files.

Both kinds happen for core packages (src:libreoffice) as well as addon
components.

As I don't know how libreoffice packaging works, I'd like to ask the LO
maintainers first for some input before filing bugs.
What needs to be fixed in these packages s.t. a) /root is not touched
at all and b) the registry is cleared properly on purge?

The testing scenario is as follows:
* create minimal chroot, disable installation of Recommends.
* install deps($PACKAGE)
* install $PACKAGE
* remove $PACKAGE deps($PACKAGE)
* purge deps($PACKAGE)
* purge $PACKAGE
