[Bug 745008] Re: Files left behind on upgrade from Maverick

Some packages still ship hooks in both locations so it's not totally
surprising that the directory still exists on removal and isn't really a
problem.

As for /var/lib, as Mathieu stated earlier, lease files will still be in
there so removing these would be wrong. Unfortunately, migrating them is
also tricky to do, so it's best to keep them around and let the admin
deal with them if wanted.

Title:
  Files left behind on upgrade from Maverick

Status in “isc-dhcp” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix
Status in “samba” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Preparing to replace dhcp3-client 3.1.3-2ubuntu6 (using .../dhcp3-client_4.1.1-P1-15ubuntu5_all.deb) ...^M
  Unpacking replacement dhcp3-client ...^M
  dpkg: warning: unable to delete old directory '/var/lib/dhcp3': Directory not empty^M
  dpkg: warning: unable to delete old directory '/etc/dhcp3/dhclient-enter-hooks.d': Directory not empty^M

  I'm not using dhcp on this box, so no idea if functional configuration
  changes are handled correctly, but the package upgrade should clean up
  after itself.
