Bug#788571: python-apt: unable to delete old directory '/usr/share/doc/python-apt/examples': Directory not empty
Package: python-apt
Version: 1.0.0~beta1
I saw these warnings on upgrade:
Unpacking python-apt-doc (1.0.0~beta1) over (0.9.4) ...

And now I'm left with a bunch of files that don't belong to any package:
$ find /usr/share/doc/python-apt/ -type f | xargs dpkg -S > /dev/null
