Bug Description
Binary package hint: secure-delete
On very huge dirs (many subdirs and many files), the recursive deletion
stops before all work is done. I needed to reinvoke the tool again, sometimes
more than once, so that the whole specified dir is wiped correctly/

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.
