Bug Description

Binary package hint: kvm

Ubuntu hardy heron 8.04 amd64
kvm:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 1:62+dfsg-0ubuntu7
  Version table:
     1:62+dfsg-0ubuntu7 0
        500 http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

I tried to purge kvm:
$ sudo aptitude purge kvm

The problem was that it didn't remove the conf files:
/etc/udev/rules.d/45-kvm.rules
/etc/kvm/utils/kvm
/etc/kvm/kvm-ifup
/etc/init.d/kvm

Looks like the postrm command "update-rc.d kvm remove" did not work

I can confirm this issue. Just as the bug report says it appears the uninstall script didn't run correctly and left the files behind.

This report should be straight forward enough for the developers to take a look at it.

Thank you for the bug report

Hi. Thanks for reporting this bug.

I am using 1:62+dfsg-0ubuntu8 and can not reproduce this bug. Running apt-get purge kvm removes all the files successfully for me.

Can you please test again if it is still the case. If not can you please mark the bug as fix released.

Thanks!

I tested this on both Hardy and Intrepid, and kvm seems to now correctly remove all files installed to /etc on purge.

Thanks for the bug report!
