[ckan-discuss] Delete packages with api - 403 error

Tue Jun 4 14:38:55 BST 2013

I wonder if it's a variant of this issue:

https://github.com/okfn/ckan/pull/369

which was a similar problem for updating a resource (I was using the V2 
API to delete a resource by setting its "state" to "deleted").

(If it's the same issue, take a look at my original commit for a more 
generic solution to the problem than what was accepted.)

A little off-topic but- Is the V3 package_delete action the same as 
setting "state" to "deleted" as in the V2 API? Or is it like the "paster 
dataset purge" command?
