Ah. Unfortunately, I don't see any way to fix this for the case of libct1, which is the package being purged and as a result removing the config file and directory. I would suggest that this is a misuse of purge, really, since purging means removing all of the config files, and there is a config file here that I think you don't want to remove. This could be fixed in libct3 by creating a separate package just to hold the config file, but that isn't even an issue until the next time libct's soname changes. -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
