YES! That is the problem! It was removed because of a conflict, and only AFTER that point was I told that I should purge hotplug, which had already been removed. Because hotplug was already removed, I can't purge it without first reinstalling it. Unless there's another way to purge than "apt-get remove --purge", and I just don't know it, which is a very real possibility. That is why the message to purge hotplug is too late. -- Hans Fugal ; http://hans.fugal.net There's nothing remarkable about it. All one has to do is hit the right keys at the right time and the instrument plays itself. -- Johann Sebastian Bach
