Default lost file after uninstall DisplayLink_Manager_App_1.0.0.pkg

Hello,

I uninstalled the ASUS_MB_Series_DisplayLink_Manager_App_1.0.0.pkg package that embed DisplayLinkManagerApp.pkg.

After that I found that lots of my file from the system were lost/deleted.
I lost for example all files in my .ssh/ home folder, the .zshrc file and all the preferences of my mac user.
I don't know exacly how many files are missing.

I found this log:
Code:

2020-08-22 15:02:27+02 matteoss package_script_service[9763]: Responsibility set back to self.
in the postinstall script there is some rm -R commands:
Code:
for f in $files
do
  if [ -e "$f" ] || [ -h "$f" ]
  then
    echo "Removing $f..."
    if ! rm -R "$f"
    then
      echo "ERROR: Unable to remove $f. Please remove manually."
     fi
    echo "$f successfully removed."
  else
    echo "$f not found, skipping."
  fi
done
I think that the uninstall script have some bug/issue that removed lots of file that are not should be.

Is it happened to some other ?

Thanks

Matteo

p.s: , so I think that should be related to displayling.org product software.
