Public bug reported: Hi,
according to dpkg accounts.google.com.conf is an obsolete conffile: # dpkg-query -W -f='${Conffiles}\n' | grep obsolete$ /etc/signon-ui/webkit-options.d/accounts.google.com.conf 3e4d5858d7818564f15e6906d10ef487 obsolete Such things do happen, but usually purging the package to which it belongs is enough to get rid of an obsolete conffile. What is unusual here is that purging kaccounts-providers removes the /etc/signon-ui/ directory but the obsolete conffile remains.
