Hi,
I have setup a retention policy and applied it to a set of projects. When deploying, the retention policy is being applied correctly, however if I deploy to a server that has possibly manually been cleaned up or not had all the versions of a particular package deployed, the retention policy code still tries to delete the package even if it does not exist, causing a failure. The deploy process is stopped at this stage and deployment does not continue.
Below is an example of the error
