[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#839238: initscripts: leaves /var/lib/urandom/random-seed behind on purge

[Sven Joachim]

Package: initscripts
Version: 2.88dsf-59.8
Severity: normal

I have just purged the initscripts package from my system and noticed a
warning from dpkg that it could not remove the directory
/var/lib/urandom because it was not empty.

The urandom initscript writes to the file /var/lib/urandom/random-seed,
and the postrm should care to remove that file and the directory on
purge.  Note that systemd uses the location /var/lib/systemd/random-seed
instead.
