Probably because you already removed the package with apt-get, so dpkg
didn't have an installed package to purge.
apt-get install bugzilla # so you can then purge it
apt-get --purge remove bugzilla # purge it
apt-get install bugzilla # install it
or, alternatively, you could probably just run
dpkg-reconfigure bugzilla
