Christian, this has been hastily reassigned to dpkg. You should at least explain the problem... As far as I understand, the file /etc/default/libzvbi0 was in the sarge package but it's no more in the sid version of the package but the conf files stays even after the purge because: - dpkg doesn't remove conffiles on upgrade, it just mark them as obsolete (can be seen on "dpkg -s package" in the Conffiles field) - apparently even during purge it doesn't remove conffiles which are obsolete Can you confirm ?
