Package: apt
Version: 0.3.10slink11
Hi,
There are two related issues here. According to the apt html
docs, the configure and remove steps in dselect are no longer
necessary, the install step is sufficient - this may be true when
installing a package, but is not so when purging a package.
The second, related issue, which I found to be very confusing at
first, is that when I mark a package to be purged, then proceed to
the install step, apt will remove the package instead of purging
it.
Here is a transcript of my session to purge lsof-2.0.35,
106 root ~ # dselect
