Well, there are several, but the package that comes to mind right now is "dpsyco". I installed it, but subsequently decided that I didn't want it, so I then removed it. Even after the removal and the "--purge" discussed in this thread, I still have the following files and directories on my system (see below). The one which causes a noticeable problem is the first one ("90dpsyco"), since it runs and prints and error message every time I do an "apt-get install" of other packages. It's a benign error (due to "|| true" in DPkg::Post-Invoke), but I believe that it shouldn't be happening at all.
