Bug#656464: boinc-client: unowned files after purge (policy 6.8, 10.8)

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: boinc-client
Version: 7.0.8+dfsg-2
Severity: important
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts

Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package left unowned files on
the system after purge, which is a violation of policy 6.8 (or 10.8):

http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-maintainerscripts.html#s-removedetails

Filing this as important as having a piuparts clean archive is a release
goal since lenny.

>From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):

0m27.7s ERROR: WARN: Broken symlinks:

If the directory and links were shipped in the package, dpkg would clean them up ...


cheers,

Andreas
