I have searched the various docs and mailing list archives, and I couldn't find anything about my question. But please forgive me if I have missed something obvious in the docs, because I've only started using debian a few days ago.
My question: sometimes when I have wanted to purge a previously installed package, I have accidentally left out the "--purge" option to the "apt-get" command. In other words, I intended to type this: apt-get --purge remove the-package ... but I inadvertantly typed this: apt-get remove the-package In these cases, is there any way that I can now do the equivalent of the "--purge" without re-installing the package and re-issuing the "remove" command with the "--purge" flag? I know that I can probably search through the package database to figure out which items to manually remove from my system, but I'm hoping that there is some utility that I can use to perform this task for me. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. -- Lloyd Zusman [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
