From fix f3540a1
Today I noticed a knock on effect: even though the readonly file is removed from the file system and the installed-files-list successfully, that removal is not reported to console:
B:\code\apt>attrib b:\o4w\bin\iconv.dll
A B:\o4w\bin\iconv.dll
B:\code\apt>attrib +R b:\o4w\bin\iconv.dll
B:\code\apt>attrib b:\o4w\bin\iconv.dll

B:\code\apt>apt remove iconv
