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

thanks

It seems that the presence of these files breaks update-manager
completely:

# update-manager
/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/apt/__init__.py:18: FutureWarning: apt API not stable yet
  warnings.warn("apt API not stable yet", FutureWarning)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/sbin/update-manager", line 76, in ?
    app = UpdateManager(data_dir)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/UpdateManager/UpdateManager.py", line 254, in __init__
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/UpdateManager/Common/DistInfo.py", line 58, in __init__
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/share/update-manager/channels//Debian.info'

After I removed the leftover UpdateManager and SoftwareProperties
directories from /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages, the copies
in /var/lib/python-support/python2.4 were then used, and the package
started to work again.
