installation of package sendmail => http://rafb.net/p/CyyCc011.html purge of package sendmail => http://rafb.net/p/L9QeCU60.html why does aptitude not remove all packages installed? The packages sendmail-base, sendmail-bin, sendmail-cf aren't depencies for any other package installed. Immediately after i installed sendmail i purged it, so the packages left behind are NOT depencies! Thanks
