[DRE-maint] Bug#675365: chef: unowned directory after purge: /var/lib/chef/cookbook_index/

Package: chef
Version: 0.10.10-1
Severity: important
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts

Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package left unowned
directories on the system after purge, which is a violation of
policy 6.8:

http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-maintainerscripts.html#s-removedetails

Filing this as important as having a piuparts clean archive is a release
goal since lenny.

If the package would ship this as an empty directory, dpkg would take
care of the creation and removal.

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

0m40.5s ERROR: FAIL: Package purging left files on system:
  /var/lib/chef/	 not owned
  /var/lib/chef/cookbook_index/	 not owned


cheers,

Andreas
