Description Kristoffer Grundström 2013-03-09 15:03:21 CET
Description of problem: In GNOME, let's say that I let urpmi install xchat. If I then choose to uninstall it for some reason, the xchat-dir in my ~/ is still there, but I can't tell if I put it there from a local installation or if urpmi did when it installed xchat.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 6.48

How reproducible: Everytime I uninstall something with urpme

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the desired way to install an RPM from an official mirror (Terminal-window or MCC).
2. Install xchat.
3. Now uninstall it.
4. Take a look in your ~/ and see that the .xchat-dir is still there.

a package manager is not here for remove user files.
