[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#665339: buddycloud-server: fails to purge - command dbc_go in postrm not found

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: buddycloud-server
Version: 0.2.1-1
Severity: important
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts

Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package failed to purge due
to a command not found. According to policy 7.2 you cannot rely on the
depends being available during purge, only the essential packages are
available for sure.

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...):

  Removing buddycloud-server ...
  Purging configuration files for buddycloud-server ...
  /var/lib/dpkg/info/buddycloud-server.postrm: 13: /var/lib/dpkg/info/buddycloud-server.postrm: dbc_go: not found
  dpkg: error processing buddycloud-server (--purge):
   subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 127
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   buddycloud-server

At the time when purge is called dbconfig-common was already removed
but this should not make purging buddycloud-server fail.


cheers,

Andreas
