Package: dbconfig-common
Version: 1.8.38

I just tried an apt-get --purge autoremove, which found dbconfig-common to be
currently not necessary. This may be fine, but this is not:

Removing dbconfig-common ...
Purging configuration files for dbconfig-common ...
rmdir: failed to remove `/var/lib/dbconfig-common': No such file or directory
rmdir: failed to remove `/etc/dbconfig-common': No such file or directory
rmdir: failed to remove `/var/log/dbconfig-common': No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing dbconfig-common (--purge):
 subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 1

To make things even worse, trying to hack things doesn't work either, which
leaves behind a broken package state:

corn:/# dpkg --force-all -P dbconfig-common
(Reading database ... 66553 files and directories currently installed.)
