Title:
purging configuration files does not do its job
Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Binary package hint: mozilla-thunderbird
I just installed the package on a kubuntu 6.06 machine, with sudo
aptitude install mozilla-thunderbird.
Executed the application ONCE, and then purged it with sudo aptitude
purge mozilla-thunderbird.
The result:
Purging configuration files for mozilla-thunderbird ...
rmdir: /usr/lib/mozilla-thunderbird/chrome/: No such file or directory
rmdir: /usr/lib/mozilla-thunderbird/chrome/: No such file or directory
dpkg - warning: while removing mozilla-thunderbird, directory
`/etc/mozilla-thunderbird` not empty so not removed.
So the said directory is left there, with the file auto-config.js in
it.
Hence. purge does not properly purge the package.
