Public bug reported:

I have follwing issues with uninstalling packages:

When I try to uninstall package, by some of them I get following output:

`dpkg: warning: while removing the package [package name], the directory
"[directory]" was not empty so not removed`

where:

[package name] is the name of the removed package and [directory] - the
folder name with contained some from the package's files.


In the result, the uninstaller has left behind the files from the uninstalled 
package and they don't got removed. Even if the package is considered after it 
as uninstalled, the files and folders still exist on disk and take away it's 
space.

I still use a Ubuntu 14.10
