Marked "fix released" because I can no longer reproduce the symptom as
of Xubuntu 14.04.2.  Yes, it might have been fixed in an earlier
release.

** Changed in: xscreensaver (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Fix Released

Title:
  apt-get remove xscreensaver >>> "No such file or directory"

Status in xscreensaver package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in xscreensaver package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Running in Trusty Alpha 2 up-to-date.
  Package: xscreensaver  5.15-3ubuntu1
  Version of apt: 0.9.14.1ubuntu2

  Subject file: /usr/bin/xscreensaver

  Script:
  set -x
  sudo apt-get -y remove xscreensaver
  sudo apt-get -y install xscreensaver
  which xscreensaver
  sudo apt-get -y remove xscreensaver

  The execution of `which` returns the status that the file does exist.
  Sometime during the remove execution, some subordinate process goes
  looking for it after it was already removed by another subprocess.

  I reported this against the package definition itself because I have
  never seen apt get confused before (my best guess).  Please note that
  this is a minor issue and has no significant impact to Trusty
  operations.
