Public bug reported: Operating System: Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin Used Version of Synaptic: 0.75.9ubuntu1
Describtion: If one tries to remove a package with configuration files, the package and the config file of the selected package will be removed correctly. Some packages of larger programms are subdivided in more than one package. If one tries to delete this program with configuration files, only the selected package of the programm will be removed with his config files. But the packages, which form part of the program to, and which are supposed by synaptic to remove them, won't be remove with there configuration files. Just an example with two dummy packages: dmy1, dmy2 are part of the same program and are used only by this program dmy1 «Selcted by the user, who wish to remove the whole program with configuaration files» → Removed with config files dmy2 «Proposed by Synaptic for removing» → Removed, but config files remain on the system I think it's clear what I expect to happen: I expect Synaptic to show a dialog, asking the user whether he wants to remove the corresponding packages with configuration files or not. ** Affects: synaptic (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1032511 Title: Synaptic don't removes all configuration files correctly To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/synaptic/+bug/1032511/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
