** Attachment added: "The patch"
   
http://librarian.launchpad.net/6668175/kleansweep-helper-script_find-file-roller-leftovers.patch

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: kleansweep
  
  Here is a patch to the kleansweep-helper perl script.  It adds a new
  option, -e, that cleans temporary files.
  
  Currently, -e only matches Gnome file-roller temporary files that get
  left over when you try to create a tarball on a disk that's almost full
  then tar(1) fails due to lack of disk space (Ubuntu bug #90328,
  forwarded upstream to Gnome bug ID 415638).
  
  Notes:
  
  * I did not attempt to patch the GUI to add a checkbox for this feature.
  Would you like me to?
  
  * This patch is for the version of kleansweep-helper that ships with
  Ubuntu (0.28), not the latest (0.29).
  
  * The "clean backup files" option already finds files named *.tmp, so I
  wasn't sure if I should just modify the backup files regexp.  But I
  instead decided to add a new option since File Roller leftover temp
- files are definitely
+ files are definitely not backup files, but they are true temp files :)
  
  * If you run Kleansweep while File Roller is currently running, I'd
  guess this would cause File Roller to fail and give you an error
  message.
