Details

if the bleachbit 2.2-1 has ever been run as su, that creates several new un-owned .pyc files in /usr/share/bleachbit/ - those files all have owned counterparts in /usr/share/bleachbit/__pycache__ as: *.cpython-37.pyc

when upgrading to bleachbit 2.2-2, that will attempt to install those same previously un-owned files (now owned by bleachbit 2.2-2) and so install fails - bleachbit 2.2-2 does not install any files to /usr/share/bleachbit/__pycache__; but it installs corresponding *.pyo files that have no counterparts in bleachbit 2.2-1

special note that this is not reproducible unless that program has been run as su; but upgrade will be blocked for any user who has done so, unless they run:

# sudo rm -rf /usr/share/bleachbit
   bleachbit-2.2.1-tree (5.2 KiB)
   bleachbit-2.2.1-tree-after-ru... (5.7 KiB)
   bleachbit-2.2.2-tree (4.2 KiB)
This task depends upon
