Package: dpkg Version: 1.10.28 Severity: normal I was told that "dpkg --purge foo" should be able to purge the remaining configurationsfiles etc from the (removed, uninstalled but nor purged) package foo. It does not do that, so is it a bug, or is it no supposed to work?
# dpkg -l | grep ^rc.*cupsy rc libcupsys2 1.1.20final+cv Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - libs # dpkg --purge libcupcsys2 dpkg - warning: ignoring request to remove libcupcsys2 which isn't installed. # dpkg -l | grep ^rc.*cupsy rc libcupsys2 1.1.20final+cv Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - libs I must say that the man page really does not hint about it. But I read it somewhere, and judging from the remaining stuff /var/lib/dpkg/foo.* it should be possible. I would be happy if it worked! -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.4.27 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=sv_SE.ISO-8859-1 (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Versions of packages dpkg depends on: ii dselect 1.10.28 a user tool to manage Debian packa ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
