Binary package hint: apt
I wanted to purge a packages config-files after i had it removed
already, apt won't do the job although dpkg does:
a...@cappuccino:/lib/firmware$ dpkg-query -W -f='${Status} ${Package}\n'|grep
deinstall
deinstall ok config-files bcm43xx-fwcutter
a...@cappuccino:/lib/firmware$ sudo apt-get purge bcm43xx-fwcutter
Paketlisten werden gelesen... Fertig
Abhängigkeitsbaum wird aufgebaut
Reading state information... Fertig
Paket bcm43xx-fwcutter ist nicht installiert, wird also auch nicht entfernt
(english: not installed, will not be removed)
0 aktualisiert, 0 neu installiert, 0 zu entfernen und 0 nicht aktualisiert.
a...@cappuccino:/lib/firmware$ sudo dpkg --purge bcm43xx-fwcutter
(Lese Datenbank ... 87598 Dateien und Verzeichnisse sind derzeit installiert.)
Entferne bcm43xx-fwcutter ... (english: removing bcm...)
Lösche Konfigurationsdateien von bcm43xx-fwcutter ... (english: purge config
files of bcm...)
Is this correct behaviour or a bug?
