Uninstalling MAAS doesn't remove the postgresql DB

[Raphaël Badin]

I just removed MAAS 1.7 from my system (apt-get purge maas maas...) and the maasdb hasn't been removed although I answered 'yes' to the two questions that I got from dpkg during the installation process (the last one being something like : "Do you want the MAAS' DB to be removed")

When purging a package, you will be asked the following two questions:

* Deconfigure database for maas-region-controller with dbconfig-common?
You have to answer Yes

* Do you want to purge the database for maas-region-controller?
You have to answer Yes.

After which, you will see the following:

dbconfig-common: dumping pgsql database maasdb to /var/tmp/maas-region-controller.maasdb.2015-01-29-12.46.pgsql.u0yCGb.
dbconfig-common: dropping pgsql database maasdb.
dropping database maasdb: success.
verifying database maasdb was dropped: success.
dbconfig-common: revoking privileges for user maas on maasdb.
revoking access to database maasdb from maas@localhost: success.

After this point, I reinstalled MAAS without any issues yields into a new MAAS DB.

Hum, I tested again this morning (and answered yes to the two uninstall questions, as I did before) and this time the DB got removed okay. Maybe it's because the first time, I installed the packages differently (with dpkg -i *.deb).
