Phew!
Just a quick note, running aptitude remove --purge liferea probably made no difference whatsoever. That only has an effect on system files and system configuration (files inside /etc, specifically), which liferea doesn't have any of anyway. This is true for any package for a program that has user-specific settings, apt has nothing to do with them. > Thanks to Matt.
