I don't entirely know if this is the answer you're looking for but I don't think you will get exact translation in functionality because apt-get purge will actually remove configuration files even if they have been edited where as if a file is marked with %config(noreplace) in the spec file of a package then rpm is not to remove it if it has been modified. There *might* be a way around this but I'm not aware of one. -AdamM -- http://maxamillion.googlepages.com --------------------------------------------------------- () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
