Bug Description

After running
aptitude install eucalyptus-common eucalyptus-cloud eucalyptus-walrus eucalyptus-sc eucalyptus-cc eucalyptus-nc
aptitude purge eucalyptus-common eucalyptus-cloud eucalyptus-walrus eucalyptus-sc eucalyptus-cc eucalyptus-nc
aptitude install eucalyptus-common eucalyptus-cloud eucalyptus-walrus eucalyptus-sc eucalyptus-cc eucalyptus-nc

Package eucalyptus cloud controller will break -- wont start properly because of many missing files under /etc (/etc/eucalyptus/cloud.d/scripts* and more..). These "config" files belong to package eucalyptus-java-common which gets uninstalled but not purged with above commands. Reinstalling purged packages re-installs eucalyptus-java-common but these files do not get reinstalled, resulting in broken installation.

It seems one of the packages above deletes these even though they belong to a different package.

A nasty work around is to use aptitudes "--purge-unused," that is:
aptitude --purge-unused purge eucalyptus-common eucalyptus-cloud eucalyptus-walrus eucalyptus-sc eucalyptus-cc eucalyptus-nc

Using debian testing with repo "deb http://repo.eucalyptus.com/debian squeeze contrib" also came across bug #461202 on ubuntus launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eucalyptus/+bug/461202), seems related.

eucalyptus-common postrm does "rm -rf /etc/eucalyptus" on purge
So yes, that can affect files from eucalyptus-java-common.

summary: - Purge + reinstall breaks package on debian.
+ eucalyptus-common purge removes files from eucalyptus-java-common

The purge command needs to be more explicit, since multiple packages are using /etc/eucalyptus.
