Public bug reported: Hi, I'm having difficulty with my MAAS set up 0.1+bzr415+dfsg-0ubuntu2 on 12.04 B2). I wanted to flush/purge my settings and start again - but now I've lost the ability to re-install the application - I get a --configure error:

I'm now at the stage where I can't re-install maas.
