Normally, the configuration files belonging to a package get an option to be updated when the package itself is updated. If you need to restore a package to its default settings, reinstalling it with --force-confask,confnew,confmiss should work: https://askubuntu.com/a/67028 (One way that has to work is apt remove --purge followed by installing the package anew. This is less convenient because all packages that depend on the package you are removing will have to be removed too.) -- Best regards, Ivan ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
