[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#576354: sysv-rc update fails due to unpurged packages, purging them doesn't help

[Brian Denheyer]

Package: sysv-rc
Version: 2.87dsf-10
Severity: normal

on configuration sysv-rc update complains that acpi-support has not
been purged when, in fact, it has been.

it may be that purging of acpi-support has some problem, but sysv-rc should
be checking the package database which would reflect that the package
has, in fact, been purged
