However that doesn't handle packages that had been installed but are now removed but not purged leaving configuration files behind. To find packages installed and then removed but not purged: grep-status -F Status 'deinstall ok config-files' -ns Package Pick any of the ones there on the list for your machine (if any) and then run dpkg -l against it. $ dpkg -l network-manager rc network-manager 0.8.1-3 network management framework daemon $ echo $? 0 Bob P.S. grep-status is provided in the dctrl-tools package.
