The directories where files will be installed by package users will be

Only because there is an active thread about this, and I happen to
want to remove my existing installation of Xpdf, I am wondering how
my method compares to the Package User method for uninstalling a
package.
Here's what I do (note: if there are directories, I must manually
delete them as I've been too lazy to write a script that does this):
[EMAIL PROTECTED]: /home/rml/build > for FILENAME in \
`cat Installed/xpdf-3.00pl3/filelist.log`; do rm $FILENAME; done
This is it. Package gone.
None, I think (I don't actually use package-users), except for the
potential slight difference if a package happens to install files with
the same name as another package.
