Possibly, because dpkg can only know if a package has conffiles, and not configuration files in general? Look up the details in policy, but not all configuration files are managed by dpkg. Packages may manage their own (using, e.g., ucf) as long as they follow the rules laid out by policy. BTW: I think sometimes packages do go strait from installed to purged on just remove... Not 100% sure if it even happens, but maybe its if there is no postrm script and no conffiles. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
