Package: gnome-session-common
Version: 3.20.1-1
Severity: normal



Hey.

On purging gnome-session-common the following happens:
Purging configuration files for gnome-session-common (3.20.1-1) ...
dpkg: warning: while removing gnome-session-common, directory '/usr/share/gnome/applications' not empty so not removed

# ls -al /usr/share/gnome/applications
total 4
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root  28 Apr 25 21:16 .
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 110 Apr 18 16:13 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  13 Apr 25 21:16 mimeinfo.cache
# cat  /usr/share/gnome/applications/mimeinfo.cache
[MIME Cache]
#

Well not sure what placed that file there, at least I didn't do it manually.

Cheers,
Chris.
