Package: python-central
Version: 0.6.8
Severity: serious

Lenny's version of python-central doesn't remove old symlinks at upgrade
(it's fixed in 0.6.10) so if upstream author decides to rename one file
(or worse: directory), python-central leaves dangling symlinks and
doesn't remove associated .pyc files.

Please use something like:

  find /usr/lib/python2.[345] -follow -lname '*'

to find dangling symlinks and remove associated .pyc files, symlinks and
directories (if they're empty after removing symlinks/pyc files).

Please note that this operation has to be done before new package will
unpack its files as otherwise above command will not find all files that
have to be removed.

[Severity: serious due to the fact that leaving pyc files will break a lot of
packages after Lenny->Squeeze upgrade]
