[Bug 881806] [NEW] icecc does not remove cleanly

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

icecc 0.9.4-2 in lucid does not remove cleanly here.  FWIW, I tried a
simple "sudo aptitude install icecc && sudo aptitude purge icecc" in a
precise virtualbox environment and that worked without a problem. So, it
may be that either the latest release is not affected or some cruft
needs to build up before this problem shows up upon purge.

$ sudo aptitude purge icecc
