tells me that prerm is gone by the time we call purge. as the conf files are removed after the 'prerm remove' step, apache needs to be bounced in the 'postrm remove' stage. but I've a fix - the only remaining quandry i have wrt purge, is should i delete the user data and pub dirs - at the moment i'm chickening out, as i don't really want to be screamed at for deleting their documents. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
