Subject: backup postrm can fail when it shouldn't
Precedence: air-mail

Package: backup
Version: 0.1-alpha.1

 Removing backup ...
 rm: /usr/doc/copyright/backup: No such file or directory
 dpkg: error processing backup (--remove):
  subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 1

I had deleted /usr/doc/copyright/backup earlier - I won't go into
details.  The postrm should be idempotent, and will in any case be
called again if and when backup is purged using dpkg --purge or the
`_' key in select.

Ian.
