Bug#725853: sasl2-bin: purging sasl2-bin does not remove statoverride

[Anton Dunaev]

Package: sasl2-bin
Version: 2.1.25.dfsg1-6+deb7
Severity: normal

Today I've tried to

Dear Maintainer, today I've found that (after I've purged sasl2-bin some days
ago) I can't install mpop package.

apt-get fails with following messages:

dpkg: unrecoverable fatal error, aborting:
 syntax error: unknown group 'sasl' in statoverride file
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)

After some investigation I've found that file /var/lib/dpkg/statoverride
contains line:
	root sasl 660 /etc/sasldb2

Manual removal of that line has been solved the problem. File does not exist
itself at specified location.


PS. Version I've entered may be not exact (I've got it from filename under
	/var/cache/apt/archives
