Thanks for the tip. > Oh my goodness there are a lot of untracked files! How many? For me, it's 1338. I think this has to do mostly with post-install files, ones that aren't in the package list. > If I were really wanting to track this down on my system then I would > install a fresh copy of squeeze in a chroot. It would be nice if the piuparts did something like this, comparing an unmodified, then upgraded, system in chroot against a fresh install in another chroot. That way, package maintainers would be alerted to when a package abandoned unmodified config files. ...Also, it would be nice to have a command that does something like: $ aptitude purge-and-reinstall '~i' without actually deleting anything that would be removed then put back into place. That would allow doing the command on packages pointing to running programs.
