Bug#909348: gdm3 upgrade from 3.28 to 3.30 tried to remove /usr/lib/udev/rules.d

[Jean-Marc]

Package: gdm3
Version: 3.30.0-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Today, upgrading my system, I got a message when gdm3 upgraded saying (sorry, it's in french):
Dépaquetage de gdm3 (3.30.0-1) sur (3.28.2-4) ...
dpkg: avertissement: impossible de supprimer l'ancien répertoire  « /usr/lib/udev/rules.d » : Le dossier n'est pas vide
dpkg: avertissement: impossible de supprimer l'ancien répertoire  « /usr/lib/udev » : Le dossier n'est pas vide

Impossible to remove the directory /usr/lib/udev/rules.d because it is not empty.

I noticed the file /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/61-gdm.rules being present in this directory and the package contains the same but not in the same location anymore apparently moved to /lib/udev/rules.d.

Is it possible the gdm3 upgrade tried to remove the directory instead of removing only this file ?

Anyway, one of the upgraded package tried it.
Here is the list of package included into my morning upgrade:
