Package: hplip-data
Version: 3.16.11+repack0-3
Severity: minor

When I removed hplip-data, I got:

Removing hplip-data (3.16.11+repack0-3) ...
dpkg: warning: while removing hplip-data, directory '/usr/share/hplip/ui5' not 
empty so not removed

not empty so not removed
dpkg: warning: while removing hplip-data, directory 
'/usr/share/hplip/base/pexpect' not empty so not removed

But for instance, /usr/share/hplip/ui5 contains only an empty
directory __pycache__ that doesn't belong to any package and
should have been removed in the process.

In /var/lib/dpkg/info/hplip-data.prerm:

#!/bin/sh
set -e

# Automatically added by dh_python3:
if which py3clean >/dev/null 2>&1; then
        py3clean -p hplip-data 
else
        dpkg -L hplip-data | perl -ne 's,/([^/]*)\.py$,/__pycache__/\1.*, or 
next; unlink $_ or die $! foreach glob($_)'
        find /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/ -type d -name __pycache__ -empty 
-print0 | xargs --null --no-run-if-empty rmdir
fi

# End automatically added section

Thus it could have been an issue in py3clean in the past.

I can't reproduce the bug either (with stable and testing).
Closing.
