Re: Purging config file of removed package

Hello,

during the upgrade of udev, it found that I still have /etc/init.d/hotplug. This is true, but since I remove the hotplug package before (apt-get remove hotplug) I have still the config files.

Not "apt-get remove --purge hotplug" does not work (see below). Can anybody tell how I can purge config files?

Thanks,
Rainer

Couldn't you just reinstall the program, then purge/remove it? Since the program is removed, apt can't see it's config files. I'm not 100% sure if this will work since I've never done it before.
