Subject: [PATCH] fix uptimed purge failure
After installing uptimed on a clean system and then trying
to purge it again, the purge failed and left the packaging system
in limbo... The reason for the failure was because of the
fatal rmdir operation that failed because purge forgot to remove the
file /var/spool/uptimed/records.old ...
This changes purge to remove records.old and to make the rmdir
operation non-fatal....
(While at it, skip the useless check for existance before rm -f
which will not fail anyway for bootid file.)
