Hi
On sid, recently I installed and removed the gcc-snapshot package. But even
after removing with 'apt-get remove --purge gcc-snapshot', it leaves the
following files hanging around.
/usr/local/bin/gcc-snapshot
/usr/local/bin/g++-snapshot
/usr/local/bin/gfortran-snapshot
Should not these files also be deleted once the original package has been
purged? Is it safe to delete them manually?
No and Yes. Debian policy dictates that packages can place files into
/usr/local (though it is discouraged) unless they collide with something
already there. However, packages are prohibited from removing anytnig
from /usr/local.

thanks for the quick reply. I removed the *-snapshot files myself.
