[Bug 1187534] Re: motif-clients: unowned files after purge (policy 6.8)

[Sebastien Bacher]

Thanks for your bug report, I don't see anything to sponsor on this bug
(no attachment, no vcs linked, no debdiff), unsubscribing sponsors ...
subscribe them back if you have an actual change to be sponsored.

Setting the quantal part of the bug to wontfix, quantal is neither a LTS
nor the current stable, the SRU team has limited resourced and those are
focussed on the most used series

** Changed in: openmotif (Ubuntu Quantal)
       Status: New => Won't Fix

** Changed in: openmotif (Ubuntu Quantal)

Title:
  motif-clients: unowned files after purge (policy 6.8)

Status in “openmotif” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “openmotif” source package in Precise:
  New
Status in “openmotif” source package in Quantal:
  Won't Fix
Status in Debian GNU/Linux:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [SRU] This fix was released in openmotif 2.3.3-7ubuntu1 in Raring.
  While I don't believe this warrants an SRU on its own, the debdiffs
  attached to LP: #1187507 fix the problem for Precise and Quantal.

  [IMPACT]
  After purging the package motif-clients, unowned files are left in /etc/X11/mwm.

  [Test Case]
  Install then purge motif-clients, verify that /etc/X11/mwm is empty.
  $ sudo apt-get install motif-clients
  $ sudo apt-get purge motif-clients
  $ ls -l /etc/X11/mwm/
  total 0

  On a system where the bug is present, the files menudefs.hook and
  system.mwmrc will be listed.

  [Regression Potential]
  Minimal: the fix only affects packaging.

  From the piuparts log file attached to Debian bug #656169:

  Purging configuration files for motif-clients ...
    dpkg: warning: while removing motif-clients, directory '/etc/X11/mwm' not empty so not removed.
