Crash when package removed but configuration left

[Gediminas Paulauskas]

Binary package hint: schooltool

If schooltool-2009 or similar package is removed but not purged, the configuration file /etc/schooltool/schooltool-2009/main.conf and script /etc/init.d/schooltool-2009 are left on disk, so on startup this service is being started but crashes.

Possible solution: postrm script should disable schooltool-2009 service so that it is not started. Look at how other services do that.

schooltool is only in Dapper now, which is EOL on the desktop anyway. Closing as WONTFIX

[Gediminas Paulauskas (menesis)]

This bug is fixed by:

schooltool-common (6ubuntu3) jaunty; urgency=low

  * Quietly exit if the package was removed (Closes LP: #419944)
  * Allow any user to query status of the server.
  * Change maintainer to myself in copyright file.
  * Bump debian/compat to 5.
  * Bump Standards-Version to 3.8.3, no changes needed.
