Can't upgrade/remove gnome-robots

Bug Description

Dpkg throws an error "rm: cannot remove ‘/var/games/’: Is a directory", and then fails with status 1.

Turns out there's a typo in the postrm script.
I manually edited /var/lib/dpkg/info/gnome-robots.postrm to read FILE instead of FILES (see patch below), and now it deinstalls just fine.
