[Bug 1029716] Re: package lxc (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 1

[Serge Hallyn]

** Patch added: "Debdiff fixing this bug."
   https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxc/+bug/1029716/+attachment/3237980/+files/lxc-purge.debdiff

** Description changed:

+ =====================================
+ SRU Justification:
+ 1. Impact: 'apt-get purge lxc' fails
+ 2. Development fix: accept 'purge' as a valid argument to the postrm script
+ 3. Stable fix: same as development fix.
+ 4. Test case:
+    sudo apt-get install lxc
+    sudo apt-get purge lxc
+ 5. Regression potential: this accepts 'purge', which is a valid option, as an argument to the postrm script.  If there were a regression it would only be seen at package uninstall.
+ =====================================
+ 
  Occured while trying to purge all installed lxc packages.
