Hello, to remove a package completely I have to use something like apt-get --purge remove packet. If I forget option purge, config-files are not removed. If I try apt-get --purge remove packet after apt-get remove packet to correct my mistake apt-get complaints because packet is not installed.
To remove old config files reinstallation of the packed and subsequent removing with option --purge should work. Is there a better way? I ask because during my first debian-testing installation (two years ago) dhcp-client was installed automatically instead of dhcp3-client. I fixed that at that time manually by removing dhcp-client and installing dhcp3-client. But I think I forgot to use --purge at that time, so some old config-files exists.
