Package: request-tracker4
Version: 4.0.6-3
Severity: important

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...):

3m7.8s ERROR: FAIL: Package purging left files on system:
  /etc/cron.d/request-tracker4	 not owned
  /var/lib/dbconfig-common/	 not owned
  /var/lib/dbconfig-common/sqlite3/	 not owned
  /var/lib/dbconfig-common/sqlite3/request-tracker4/	 not owned

3m7.8s INFO: Warning: Package purging left files on system:
  /etc/cron.d/	 owned by: cron
These files seem to have been left by dependencies rather than by packages
being explicitly tested.


Leaving the empty directories is a dbconfig-common problem, so ignore
these. But the cron script needs to be removed properly.


cheers,

Andreas
