Great! So finally we get rid of at least one showstopper. And this time
even before the release ;) Thanks for checking!

I guess this is handled by...

uh? Where's the bug report? This problem was mentioned several times on
the mailing list, so we should have a bug report for it. Can someone
spot an 'eggbasket cannot remove dir' or similar bug?

If it really does not exist yet, we should create a new one.

This seems to be handled by

  https://bugs.launchpad.net/grok/+bug/180410

right?

I will try to tell in the appropriate bug reports how one can
test/develop a fix for those bugs later today.

Yes, we can (make a new bugreport for this ;) The importance, however,
could be set to a minor value, as things at least seem to work with
those mixed paths.

So thanks to all contributors here!

Best regards,
