I want to understand what apt-get does with the files of a package I'm having
problems with, but there seems to be stuff going on that the man page isn't
telling me about.
I installed tomcat5.5 and then tomcat5.5-admin.
There seemed to be some serious problem with the tomcat manager installed by
tomcat5.5-admin, which stopped tomcat starting, so I tried to de-install it.
I ran apt-get remove tomcat5.5-admin
The problem though remained - the tomcat manager settings were preventing a
clean start-up.
So I ran apt-get --purge remove tomcat5.5-admin
This made no difference. So I ran
apt-get --purge remove tomcat5.5
to clear the whole lot. However it let various tomcat files in
/usr/share/tomcat5.5/ which I manually deleted.
I re-installed tomcat, but the bootstrap.jar - one of the main start-up binaries
- was not reinstalled.
Why did this happen? Surely a purge should wipe the slate clean?
Thanks
Adam
