I'm attempting to install postfix - I ran into a problem(of my own doing) and decided to start from scratch..

I removed the debs

postfix
postfix-tls

but I still get them in the list of packages..

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc# dpkg -l | grep -i postfix
rc  postfix        2.1.3-1        A high-performance mail transport agent
rc  postfix-tls    2.1.3-1        TLS and SASL support for Postfix

Also when I removed both these packages their are still files left behind - ie init scripts, file and directories in /var/spool/postfix..

So after the boteched removal I re-installed - and re-removed. Still same problem. Only now upon re-installing I feel I'm missing some files - almost like the new re-install is only half way taking place.

At this point I'm looking to remove postfix 100% and start clean. Problem is I can't do that. Since I'm new to apt-get I'm wondering if its database(or where it keeps it information is corrupted) under Redhat I sometimes had to rebuild the rpm database if it got botched.

Suggestions?
