Package: aptitude
Version: 0.6.9.1-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I am/was trying to purge a package which has been removed (to remove
the configuration files which have remained behind) but haven't been
able to remove it.
$ aptitude search gnotski
c gnotski -
Klotski puzzle game for GNOME (transitional package)
$ sudo aptitude purge gnotski -y
The following packages will be REMOVED:
gnotski{p}
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 4 not upgraded.
Need to get 0 B of archives. After unpacking 0 B will be used.
D000001: deferred_remove package gnotski:all
dpkg: warning: ignoring request to remove gnotski which isn't installed
Now the problem is when I do an aptitude search it shows that the
package has been removed as seen in the notation 'c' while searching
for it (as seen above) but there is something in the package which was
not removed.
Can something be done about this?

So I am not sure about what was wrong at the time, but I think that this
bug is not present anymore.
Dear Manuel,
I would suggest you just close the bug, it's too far in the back now.
OK, thanks.
Also, I asked about this to the dpkg maintainer and he hinted that there
was a time 1 or 2 years ago when apt and aptitude appended the main arch
to packages even when they were arch:all or dpkg was not multiarch
ready, or some similar problems.
To try to reproduce it again, I also installed, removed and then purged
postgresql-common and postgresql-client-common, which are arch:all (to
see if it made any difference), but also I couldn't reproduce it and
everything works fine with 0.7.1-1.
Lastly, nobody reported it recently, despite the stable release being
out for a few months.
So, all in all, I agree that this can be closed now, doing it. I am
sure that somebody will reopen or create a new bug report if it
continues to be an issue in some use case; and in the meantime there are
plenty of other issues to fix...
Cheers.
