stale emacs lisp files left behind after upgrade

[James Henstridge]

After upgrading to Lunar, I see the following warning messages when I start Emacs:

    Warning (comp): Cannot look-up eln file as no source file was found for /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa/use-package-2.4.1/use-package.elc Disable showing Disable logging

After the upgrade, I have two use-package directories in site-lisp/elpa:

    /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa/use-package-2.4.1
    /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa/use-package-2.4.4

The 2.4.1 directory contains broken .el symlinks and regular .elc files. The 2.4.4 directory contains working .el symlinks and .elc files. There are a few other packages in a similar state that changed version between Kinetic and Lunar.

From what I can tell, these directories were set up by /usr/lib/dh-elpa/helper/install but the old version was not removed on upgrade.

Manually removing the old versioned directory for affected packages clears up the warnings.
