Since the following package created these files, they should also be removed by the package also. Otherwise, they will likely be orphaned files on the system.

Since FEATURES=collision-protect will make this package abort if the files are present on the system and this another package owns them, it makes this bug invalid. Besides, I got that "rm message" when the files didn't even exist on the system. Resolving as INVALID because there is nothing to fix here.
ok. Didn't realize those files were actually orphaned by another package. <shrugs> Not a perl expert, but was concerned about leaving orphaned files behind.
