Rpm removal does not remove delivered dirs and leaves garbage
- by Jim
I deliver an application via an RPM.
This application delivers various directories and files.
E.g. under /opt/internal/com
a file structure is being copied.
I was expecting that on rpm -e all the file structure delivered under /opt/internal/com will be removed.
But it does not.
There are directories in the file structure that are non-empty.
Is this the reason? But these (non-empty) directories were created by the RPM installation. So I would expect that they would be "owned" by RPM and removed automatically.
Is this wrong? Am I supposed to remove them manually?
