[Pkg-nagios-devel] Bug#283355: nagios-common: Unnecessary failure of postrm script

[Olaf van der Spek]

Package: nagios-common
Version: 2:1.3-0+pre4
Severity: normal


Hi,

I install nagios-mysql and chose Apache (although I only have Apache 2).
The install failed, and now the remove fails too:
# apt-get remove nagios-mysql --purge
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Package nagios-mysql is not installed, so not removed
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  nagios-common
  0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
  1 not fully installed or removed.
  Need to get 0B of archives.
  After unpacking 3002kB disk space will be freed.
  Do you want to continue? [Y/n]

  Removing nagios-common ...
  rm: cannot remove `/etc/apache/conf.d/nagios': No such file or directory
  dpkg: error processing nagios-common (--remove):
   subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 1
   Errors were encountered while processing:
    nagios-common
    E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
    
Shouldn't the rm failure be considered 'succes' if the directory is gone already?
