Hello APT::Get::Purge should not have any effect in aptitude. Its name indicates it is only used by apt-get. As you observe, and as the name implies, Aptitude::Purge-Unused applies only to autoremoved packages. > But when aptitude runs into a situation where it has to ask the user > for confirmation (e.g. when it has to delete other packages because > of conflicts or dependencies) it ignores these settings and only > deletes the packages without purging the config files. Presently there is no option to do what you ask, which is beyond the scope of Purge-Unused. Responding to those prompts where “remove this package to resolve a conflict” is not the same as removing an unused package. This is something to be looked at during the next development cycle.
