Package: gclcvs

Hi Camm,

I purged the unstable version of gclcvs to gain some free space. Here's
the console output:

# apt-get remove --purge gclcvs gclcvs-doc
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  gclcvs* gclcvs-doc*

After unpacking 122MB disk space will be freed.
Do you want to continue [Y/n]?

I suspect "rm: cannot remove `>': Is a directory" is due to incorrect
escaping (/usr/lib/gcl-2.7.0/unixport and /usr/lib/gcl-2.7.0-prof both
contain a file named 'saved_clc_gcl?>')

Regards,
Adam
