Bug#985054: coturn: fails to purge: rmdir: failed to remove '/var/lib/turn': No such file or directory

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: coturn
Version: 4.5.2-2
Severity: serious
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts

Hi,

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

(this was observed in a piuparts nodocs test)

>From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):

  Purging configuration files for coturn (4.5.2-2) ...
  rmdir: failed to remove '/var/lib/turn': No such file or directory
  dpkg: error processing package coturn (--purge):
   installed coturn package post-removal script subprocess returned error exit status 1
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   coturn

Why don't you ship the (empty) directory in the package and let dpkg
take care of creation and removal?

cheers,

Andreas
