Well, let's take the example of konqueror: Start-Date: 2011-02-07 22:14:36 Commandline: apt-get --no-install-recommends install konqueror Install: libkonqsidebarplugin4a:i386 (4.4.5-2, automatic), kdebase-bin:i386 (4.4.5-2, automatic), konqueror:i386 (4.4.5-2) End-Date: 2011-02-07 22:14:47 (/usr/share/doc/kde/HTML/en/konqueror is empty) Start-Date: 2011-03-15 21:12:58 Commandline: apt-get --purge remove konqueror Purge: konqueror:i386 (4.4.5-2) End-Date: 2011-03-15 21:13:03 Start-Date: 2011-03-15 21:13:54 Commandline: apt-get --reinstall --no-install-recommends install konqueror Install: konqueror:i386 (4.4.5-2) End-Date: 2011-03-15 21:14:01 (/usr/share/doc/kde/HTML/en/konqueror remains empty) dpkg -i konqueror_4%3a4.4.5-2_i386.deb (/usr/share/doc/kde/HTML/en/konqueror full of stuff) Andreas Gösele -- Omnis enim res, quae dando non deficit, dum habetur et non datur, nondum habetur, quomodo habenda est.
