Uhm... That's by design. --purge means "when performing remove operations, purge instead". It doesn't specify WHICH packages will be purged. Frankly, if Jason changed this behaviour I would scream. You'll notice that the output TELLS you before you answer "yes"... Any package with an asterisk next to it is being purged. ... Adam
