Package: aptitude Version: 0.4.3-1 Severity: normal One may want to mark deleted packages as purge to get rid of obsolete configuration files. But some configuration files may be common to a package to be purged and a package to installed (this is the case when a package is renamed). To avoid losing the contents of these files (when the user has modified them), the actual purge should occur after installing all the packages.
