If you have
Dpkg::Options {
"--force-confask";
}
in apt.conf, then during dpkg configure you will be always prompted for
what to do with configuration files (install version from package/keep
old version), even if it is not upgrade, but only reinstallation. Thus
if you want to totally reconfigure the package (probably, restoring it's
configuration to default), you may just use apt-get install --reinstall.

I may be wrong, but I can suggest three methods: 1. (conceptually shouldn't work) : apt-get remove <package name>; apt-get install <package name> 2. (should work...your intentions must break your system): apt-get purge <package name>; apt-get install <package name> 3. *(recommended method): dpkg-reconfigure <package name/s> Make sure the methods won't break your system! That's just a suggestion. Good luck! -- Himanshu Shekhar IIIT-Allahabad IRM2015006
