Re: Apt Needs Counseling

["Freddie Witherden" <freddiewitherden@hotmail.com>]

Hi, none of those worked. It seems to be because it can not remove (--purge) 
a package which does not have ant files and when I try to reinstall it apt 
tries to configure the packages which need it. I need a way of totally 
nuking those packages from apt's list so that it forgets that they even 
exist.
