Ok, I rm -rf`d all directories named squid from my box thinking that attempting to do a fresh install after would fix everything NOPE, and wtf, apparently the install binary wont recreate the directories now, yay! wtf symlink madness???? any suggestions how to just get squid to reinstall from apt would be, sooooooooo awesome. I removed squid due to a botched attempt to build and isntall from source, ok, then when I reinstalled squid after doing a make uninstall, squid was complaining about the error pages missing, it was looking for them in a new dir that it should not have been. rm -rf /usr/share/squid3/ <--squid3.1.6 SHOULD be looking here rm -rf /usr/share/squid-langpack <---but,squid keeps looking for them here deviant:/# apt-get install squid3 Reading package lists...
