Upgrade tests showed that the switch from hand-written *.pyc (compiled
python files) cleanup to pyclean trigger an error when upgrading from
an old version, in particular from current stable to current testing.
This happens only if calibre is once started as root, so I never tested
this one. When starting as root, python files under
/usr/lib/calibre/
will be compiled to .pyc files, which were NOT shipped in old versions
(current stable).
Then, after upgrade from stable to testing, these .pyc files are not
properly removed, in particular the .pyc files in
/usr/lib/calibre/regex
which is a directory that disappears.
To deal with this special case, I added postinst code that checks
whether we are updating from one of the affected versions, and in the
respective case manually purges .pyc (and .pyo) files and remove the
regex directory.
If this is not done, calibre fails to start as shown in #865879

Unblocked, thank. (Maybe you want to reconsider the severity of the bug
you closed).
