Ok. > Oh, but they were created by apache2-common. Sorry, but that's not true. /etc/apache2/conf.d/mediawiki1.7 is created by calling "ln -s" inside mediawiki1.7's postinst. Besides, apache ain't the only package that has the ability to create files there, right? > You purged the package, > which means that you want to erase all traces of it.

I don't quite get your point. /etc/apache2/conf.d/mediawiki1.7 isn't provided by apache. I just took a look at the postrm file from apache2.2-common and it seems it does not longer try to remove all symlinks in /etc/apache2/conf.d ... I really appreciate that improvement compared to apache2-common's very greedy behavior. Thanks, Thomas -- GMX DSL-Flatrate 0,- Euro* - Überall, wo DSL verfügbar ist!
