Description:
Removing a MySQL installation performed from a HPUX depot file removes the files, but leaves the entire directory structure behind. This causes a lot of clutter in /usr/local after installing/deinstalling several depot files.

How to repeat:
Install and remove a MySQL depot installation. Observe the remaining directory structure in /usr/local/mysql-<version>

Suggested fix:
Clean up the empty directories

This is actually the default behaviour for the "swremove"
command on HP-UX. But a "postremove" script could
clean this up.

HP-UX is an obsolete platform for MySQL Server.
