Yes, indeed!

I'm totally new to the debian package stuff, wanted to build up an own installation package today and since the hello-world-app is THE example on how to do it, I was so keen to build & install this package on my N800/OS2008 to see how it looks like.

And I'm completely shocked that the standard example for making debian packages for maemo didn't even uninstall correctly!

This is how I was able to fix it:

I changed /var/lib/dpkg/info/hello-world-app.postrm to:

Code:

#!/bin/sh
#Remove the desktop entries from the configuration files

home_data="hello-world-home.desktop"
sb_data="hello-world-sb.desktop"
tn_data="hello-world-tn.desktop"

path="/etc/hildon-desktop"
home_conf="home.conf"
sb_conf="statusbar.conf"
tn_conf="tasknavigator.conf"

sed "/$home_data/d" $path/$home_conf > home_conf.tmp
mv home_conf.tmp $path/$home_conf
sed "/$sb_data/d" $path/$sb_conf > sb_conf.tmp
mv sb_conf.tmp $path/$sb_conf
sed "/$tn_data/d" $path/$tn_conf > tn_conf.tmp
mv tn_conf.tmp $path/$tn_conf

Afterwards I was able to uninstall the package and instead I took the maemopad-2.1 as example for building up my own package...
