[Pkg-fonts-devel] Bug#970337: fonts-open-sans: warning when purging the package

[Jean-Marc]

Package: fonts-open-sans
Version: 1.11-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

apt mentioned fonts-open-sans was automatically installed but not needed anymore.

I then ran an apt autoremove --purge.

During the purge, I got a warning because dpkg was not able to remove the directory /usr/share/fonts/truetype/open-sans, this directory being not empty.

Indeed, it still contained one file named .uuid:

$ ls -la /usr/share/fonts/truetype/open-sans
total 12
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 4096 sep 14 21:30 .
drwxr-xr-x 21 root root 4096 jui 12 22:14 ..
-rw-r--r--  1 root root   36 fév 13  2020 .uuid

Maybe something to manage in one of the control files.

Regards,

Jean-Marc
