If the package is just removed (dpkg -r "packagename"), configuration files are left in place. If the package is subsequently re-installed, dpkg assumes those files will still be there so doesn't re-install them. To be certain that the next re-install will definitely install config files you need to purge the package (dpkg -P "packagename"). I don't know for certain which option the application manager uses, but I have a feeling it's only remove rather than purge. -- Tony Green Ipswich, Suffolk, England http://www.beermad.org.uk http://no2id-ip.web-brewer.co.uk ** This message is digitally signed.
