Bug Description
If an application installs files into either the /usr/local or /opt hierarchy, when the application is removed or purged the following warning message is displayed.
warning: while removing {app}, directory '{path}' not empty so not removed"
With /opt and /usr/local both being standard FHS paths that are created during system install, these directories should never be deleted as part of a package purge or removal and this message should not appear.
