severity 411585 important tag 411585 +confirmed thanks I am marking this bug as important and confirmed for various reasons. I am finding it with purge rather than unregister. However it seems likely that that purge is defined in terms of unregister, or at least that they share code. Unregister is realtively obscure whilst purge is always used.
The debconf-devel(7) man page is fairly clear: "It [purge] removes all of your package's questions from the debconf's database". I have found that this works under debconf but not cdebconf. Note however that if you restrict yourself to debconf-show it appears to work. You have to either view the cache file or reinstall a purged package to see if it failed or worked. This difference in behaviour from the documentation and the debconf implementation, is enough for me to think that this bug eport should actually be severe, but may be oters woud disagree. -- Nicholas Bamber | http://www.periapt.co.uk/ PGP key 3BFFE73C from pgp.mit.edu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
