Comment 2 for bug 152811

One of my colleagues got the same error when trying to remove a binary file.
It seems to be the same problem.

Note that both are runing python 2.4.
Do we have any unit tests for removing a binary file?
I'm pretty sure we have tests for removing directories though.
Is PQM running python 2.5?
