[Debian GNUstep maintainers] Bug#606671: Attempt to start gdomap after gnustep-base-runtime removed

[Rob Gom]

Package: gnustep-base-runtime
Severity: normal

Hi all,
I'm not sure if this is a real problem, but reporting nonetheless.
If you don't agree, feel free to close it.

I had gnustep-base-runtime removed (but not purged):
$ dpkg -l gnustep-base-runtime
rc  gnustep-base-runtime   1.19.3-3               GNUstep Base library
- daemons and tools

And my system always complained during startup:
"unable to stat gdomap"

I have found that gdomap left two files after removing:
$ dpkg -S gdomap
gnustep-base-runtime: /etc/init.d/gdomap
gnustep-base-runtime: /etc/default/gdomap

I feel that the first one is not (shouldn't be?) configuration file
and should be removed during package removal.

I think I got rid of the problem by just purging the package.

Regards,
