Description of problem:
--------------------------------

Satellite Server upgrade leaves many katello-4* gems directories on the system. The old directories have all the same pattern that a public directory is left in it preventing the rpm package process to do the cleanup. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Red Hat Satellite 6.x

Actual results:
-------------------

Katello upgrades leave several old katello directories on the system.

Expected results:
-----------------------

Improvement in the RPM upgrade process to clean these empty directories and remove the empty directory tree.

Additional info:
--------------------

Following are the leftovers in the directory -
