Package: apt Version: 0.5.14 I've "apt-get remove leafnode" yesterday. Today, I'm having a problem with the leafnode config file /etc/cron.daily/leafnode. (I filed that problem as bug 219559). I decided to rid myself of both the problem and that leafnode config file, so I tried
apt-get remove --purge leafnode However, apt-get did not remove all leafnode config files, as I had expected it to. It simply declined to do anything. The reason given was: Package leafnode is not installed, so not removed I fell back to "dpkg --purge leafnode". That one did what I had expected "apt-get remove --purge leafnode" to do: /etc/cron.daily/leafnode is now gone for good.
