Re: Purge leaves some files

[Torok Balint <toba12@freemail.hu>]

Helo!

Thank you everyone for the help I received.

I have tried to install/purge the same applications with
aptitude on another computer and all went well. I conclude
that the problem came into existance becouse apt-get did not
purge the package dependencies along with the original
package. Apt-get tried to purge only the "original" package,
but left its dependencies intact.
Now the problem is there, how can I correct it? How can I
delete the leftover files? I should determine somehow what
where the demendencies, and purge them too with apt-get?
Would this delete the leftover files to?
