Bug#567548: tomcat6: Tomcat6 improperly removed after remove --purge

[piersont]

Package: tomcat6
Version: 6.0.20-9
Severity: normal

Hi,

When I run "apt-get remove --purge tomcat6", some files could not be removed:
"...
locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory

Done.

dpkg: warning: while removing tomcat6, directory '/etc/tomcat6/Catalina' not empty so not removed.
dpkg: warning: while removing tomcat6, directory '/etc/tomcat6' not empty so not removed.
..."

After I just reboot the computer and I can see this line during the boot sequence:
"Starting Tomcat6 : Failed!
Tomcat6 is not installed."
So I think that the boot sequence entry have not been removed too.

I try to reinstall the package and remove it again but the same thing happend.

Regards,
