Then you probably only removed it rather than purging it, or else the package has a bug. > dpkg-reconfigure (?) didn't help me at all either.

You can only expect dpkg-reconfigure to do anything for debconfized packages. -- Colin Watson [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
