Public bug reported: The info command invocation from the .prerm script is b0rked and lacks the "dir" parameter. To fix, it is probably necessary to either add a .prerm script to the new version that cleans up the 14.04.X mess, or upgrade the old version so that it can deinstall itself properly on a half-upgraded 16.04 system.
