Bug#665795: texlive-base upgrade leaves empty directories behind

[Norbert Preining <preining@logic.at>]

Hi Laurent,

I have added code that if one upgrades
	FROM 2009 TO the next version (not uploaded yet)
then these directories will be removed.

But this will not work for you, but you can do the same :
    rmdir --ignore-fail-on-non-empty /etc/texmf/texdoc
    rmdir --ignore-fail-on-non-empty /etc/texmf/metafont/misc
    rmdir --ignore-fail-on-non-empty /etc/texmf/metafont
    rmdir --ignore-fail-on-non-empty /etc/texmf/tex/latex/config
    rmdir --ignore-fail-on-non-empty /etc/texmf/tex/latex/contour
    rmdir --ignore-fail-on-non-empty /etc/texmf/tex/latex/pict2e
    rmdir --ignore-fail-on-non-empty /etc/texmf/tex/latex
    rmdir --ignore-fail-on-non-empty /etc/texmf/tex
which is the code that has been added to the telxive-base.postinst scropt.

Thanks for your bug report!

Best wishes

Norbert

certain if this was because they were trying to see more
clearly, or if they simply wanted to leave at this point.
