Then they would need to be fixed when they are packaged for debian - as far as I can see, the debian python policy effectively require such a fix and other python programs packaged for debian seem to implement it - i.e. creating these files at install time and removing them before uninstalling. Again, the problem in this bug report almost certainly stem from calibre not removing the .pyc files - the .py files were duly removed by dpkg, butsince python looks for .pyc files, this explains the leftovers. -- The choice of a Deliantra, the free code+content MORPG -----==- _GNU_ http://www.deliantra.net ----==-- _ generation ---==---(_)__ __ ____ __ Marc Lehmann --==---/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / schm...@schmorp.de -=====/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\
