Rpm install not clearing old package metadata
See original GitHub issueWhen upgrading via the rpm it looks like the beer-garden packages aren’t getting fully removed.
When upgrading from an older version I can see some extra directories in the lib/python3.6/site-packages directory:
- brewtils-2.4.1-py3.6.egg-info
- brewtils-2.4.4.dist-info
- brew_view-2.4.4-py3.6.egg-info
- brew_view-2.4.7.dist-info
It’s also happening with non-beergarden packages:
- six-1.11.0.dist-info
- six-1.12.0.dist-info
The old directories are all empty, so this may not actually be a problem.

Yeah, I think we should generate logging configs if they don’t exist.
Also, the upgrade currently errors if the init script is missing (since it can’t stop the service). We should probably be better about handling that.
