Fred, can you take a quick look at this?  Seems to be a consequence of using zpkg.

 Changes: edited transcript, importance (low => medium), new comment

OK, I boosted it to Medium.  There's no short-term hope of closing this, though, unless a volunteer shows up to work on it.

> Importance: low

I can see that from the point of view of ZODB developers, but for downstream package maintainers, a "clean" target that works is essential.

>From John Belmonte, on zodb-dev:

In 3.4a1 I noticed that setup.py --clean is leaving some derived files behind:

$ python setup.py clean --all
running clean
'build/lib.linux-i686-2.4' does not exist -- can't clean it
'build/bdist.linux-i686' does not exist -- can't clean it
'build/scripts-2.4' does not exist -- can't clean it
$ find -name '*.pyc'
