[Pkg-freeradius-maintainers] Bug#839914: freeradius-dhcp: fails to purge: rmdir: failed to remove '/etc/freeradius': No such file or directory

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: freeradius-dhcp
Version: 3.0.11+dfsg-1
Severity: important
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts

Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package failed to purge.

Filing this as important because a.) it's a clear policy violation (to
not clean up at purge) b.) having a piuparts clean archive is a release
goal since lenny and c.) this package being piuparts buggy blocks
packages depending on it from being tested by piuparts (and thus
possibly the detection of more severe problems).

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