# `forbidden-postrm-interpreter`

This package contains a `postrm` maintainer script that uses an interpreter that isn't essential. The `purge` action of `postrm` can only rely on essential packages, which means the interpreter used by `postrm` must be one of the essential ones (`sh`, `bash`, or `perl`).

Severity: | `error`
Experimental: | `false`
