I think you're right, Marius. I subsequently found that using dpkg's purge argument instead of remove caused the reinstall to work as I'd expect. So in the real world, users will be at the mercy of whichever option the package manager uses, which will affect what files are left on the machine after removal, but on balance that's a lower priority than getting it working in the first place... -- Tony Green Ipswich, Suffolk, England http://www.beermad.org.uk http://no2id-ip.web-brewer.co.uk _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
