[Bug 794467] [NEW] /usr/share/command-not-found remains in filesystem after 'apt-get remove command-not-found'

[Bogdan Harjoc]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: command-not-found

I ran 'apt-get remove command-not-found' and expected the "Program xyz
is not installed" messages to go away, at least after logging out and
back in.

Apparently the file /usr/share/command-not-found was left on the
filesystem after uninstallation, causing something like

user at ubuntu:~/kit$ hg
/usr/bin/python: can't find '__main__.py' in '/usr/share/command-not-found'

I don't remember seeing any error/warning messages during 'apt-get
remove', fwiw. I could look into it some more if needed.
