[Pkg-matrix-maintainers] Bug#945759: Might be a dpkg --purge problem

[Kris Coward]

I had this problem when I tried to install 0.99 from stable, and then
purged it before switching to 1.9 from backports. Because
/var/log/matrix-synapse and /var/lib/matrix-synapse weren't empty, they
didn't get cleaned out. The latter held the sqlite dbfile, in which
I'm guessing some bit of old config badness was hanging around. After
doing another purge, manually removing those directories, and
reinstalling, synapse seems to be starting fine for me now.
