Bug#451459: update-manager: Leaving stray files after purging the package

[Michael Biebl]

Package: update-manager
Severity: important

After purging update-manager, the directory /usr/share/updare-manager
could not be remove as it still contained *.pyc files:

# ls /usr/share/update-manager/python/ -la
insgesamt 112
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root  4096 2006-02-21 01:57 .

It seems, python-support is not correctly used.

Cheers,
Michael
