Almost. That won't remove any files that were left behind as lint from something previous. Any new file will come in again as new. But previous files left behind from previous package versions or just other random files won't be removed. So it isn't quite the same as a pristine installation state. But I agree that it might be plenty good enough! :-) Bob
