One user showed up today (Sunday, Nov 28th) in telux installation party, wondering why he has many debs in rc (== RemovedConfigured) state in his Debian derivative installation. He was told he can cheerfully purge those packages. This is wrong. He should throughly check that those packages don't have side effects, like a uid that other packages use. I am not sure what is the best method to carry on those verifications. Does a dry run of the post remove script sufficient? I guess that the easiest solution is to leave those packages as they are. That user said he doesn't read linux-il. On the other hand, Eddie Aharonovitch seems to know him. He also seem to be participating on some forum. For Eddie Aharonovitch, that user was the one with the laptop that Eddie showed interest in.
