--remove-script isn't removing cron, logrotate and man file

[reneschuster]

Here the error:

Installing and uninstalling should be done by package manager. Do one thing and do it well.

Please don't use smth like rm -rf {foo}/{bar}.

I only run -rf for the workdir, which should be assigned correctly, or the script wont function.

I will add some extra noob protections to make sure the path is more than 1 layer deep and contains something specific to the workdir.

+1 to what @marcin-github said. Leave installing and uninstalling to package managers, they will do it properly and with tracking all files.

Added some changes in 5.2.2.

Agree with management either via packages or configuration management.

Unfortunately some users still want the legacy --remove_script option. If the pgk_ options are defined the remove_script is disabled.
