Right, which is why you remove all files owned by the package. But rm -rf of the entire directory goes beyond that. I think purge should rm -f each file in /etc/puppet that is installed by the package, and then remove the /etc/puppet directory if it's empty. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
