Which is why I'd recommend this instead:

  rm -f /usr/share/emacs/20.5/site-lisp/gri-mode.CompilationLog.gz
  rm -f /usr/share/emacs/20.6/site-lisp/gri-mode.CompilationLog.gz

Since that actually cleans up the cruft we know about, and more lines
can be added later if other people discover more in the future.

What would be wrong with that?
