[Piuparts-devel] Bug#760716: Problem with piuparts wanting to remove systemd-sysv

[Joseph Herlant]

Package: piuparts
Version: 0.59
Severity: normal

Hi,

I am packaging gnome-shell-pomodoro-data and found out that piuparts
fails testing it on piuparts.debian.org because at some point,
/etc/piuparts/scripts/pre_remove_exceptions script wants to install
sysvinit-core to remove systemd-sysv.

Then the purge fails because files of the systemd-sysv have disappeared, which
is normal if piuparts removes the systemd-sysv package!

As systemd-sysv is the default init system in Debian,
I don't understand the behavior of piuparts here.

And I don't understand why piuparts looks for files from the systemd-sysv
package which it has just removed!

Complete failed test log can be found here:
https://piuparts.debian.org/sid/fail/gnome-shell-pomodoro-data_0.10.2-5.log

My package's tracker page is: https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/gnome-shell-
pomodoro

Note that I don't have the issue when I run:
`sudo piuparts ./gnome-shell-pomodoro-data_0.10.2-5_all.deb`
on my pc, so it might be related to specific options used on
piuparts.debian.org.

Thanks in advance,
Joseph
