From the attached log (scroll to the bottom): 0m34.1s ERROR: FAIL: Package purging left files on system: /root/.tvtime/ not owned Creating stuff in /root is a FHS and policy violation.

But it is also an indication that the package operation may depend on root's .tvtime configuration (and package installation might even fail if that configuration is broken). That would be a case for "configuration files not in /etc"." [Regression Potential] This is due to tvtime-configure being called in the postinst script. tvtime-configure uses config_new() which in turn contains this code: /* Make the ~/.tvtime directory every time on startup, to be safe. */ if( asprintf( &temp_dirname, "%s/.tvtime", getenv( "HOME" ) ) < 0 ) { /* FIXME: Clean up ?? */ return 0; } mkdir_and_force_owner( temp_dirname, ct->uid, getgid() ); free( temp_dirname ); Therefore, tvtime-configure creates $HOME/.tvtime everytime you run it, even when the invocation is something like tvtime-configure -F /etc/tvtime/tvtime.xml I have attached a patch which will fix the bug (that is, not create $HOME/.tvtime on every run) but will still work correctly by creating dirname(config_filename) before saving. I tested it by changing the deinterlacing setting.
