Not necessarily. For example take Ubuntu's apt. "Removing a package removes all packaged data, but leaves usually small (modified) user configuration files behind, in case the remove was an accident. Just issuing an installation request for the accidentally removed package will restore its function as before in that case. On the other hand you can get rid of these leftovers by calling purge even on already removed packages. Note that this does not affect any data or configuration stored in your home directory." - http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/zesty/man8/apt.8.html If an Ubuntu user should mess up a config in e.g. /etc, then uninstalling a package using "purge" and after that installing it again very well could solve an issue. _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
