Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: beagle

Hello! I'm using Ubuntu Gutsy, and I noticed that the beagle package
doesn't clean-up after itself even after a purge.

I'm trying to switch to tracker for a while, and I tried to remove
beagle. (libbeagle can't be removed because Nautilus depends on it, but
that's another issue).

So I did an "aptitude purge beagle", and I noticed it left quite some
stuff behind (see below). I think all of those should have been removed,
too. (And the cache is big enough to matter.)
