Comment(by cscott):

 Looks like the program occurred during the upgrade of Wikislice or
 Wikipedia.  My wild guess is that bundle.uninstall() got convinced that
 the bundle root dir was '.' and ended up deleting ~/Activities/. -- the
 logic for finding the zip file root is:
 {{{
         file_names = self._zip_file.namelist()
 ...
         self._zip_root_dir = file_names[0].split('/')[0]
 }}}

 This seems failure-prone to me.
