It's a feature. The file in /etc/init.d is normally a conffile, which doesn't get removed unless you do dpkg --purge on the package. As you say, this is all about preserving configuration information. The links should be removed when the conffile is, for similar reasons. -- Mark Brown mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Trying to avoid grumpiness) http://www.tardis.ed.ac.uk/~broonie/ EUFS http://www.eusa.ed.ac.uk/societies/filmsoc/
