[Piuparts-devel] Bug#953756: piuparts: Please add exception for dselect cmethopt file

[Guillem Jover]

Package: piuparts
Version: 1.1.1
Severity: wishlist

Hi!

The piuparts run for dselect is failing:

  <https://piuparts.debian.org/experimental/fail/dselect_1.20.0.log>

because that version started removing a file it owns during package
purge.

The involved file («/var/lib/dpkg/cmethopt») is managed by dselect to
track the current download method, but is also created by debootstrap
while it is doing the apt/dselect setup.

So I guess it would need an exception for this.

Thanks,
Guillem
