Ok, I rm -rf`d all directories named squid from my box thinking that

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
No. Squid 3.1 uses error page templates provided by the langpack. It is
correct.
At this point I agree with Pieter suggestion. Use "dpkg -l | grep squid"
to find all the packages which you may have damaged by removing "squid"
directories.
At the minimum there will be squid3, squid3-common and squid-langpack.
When you have determined what needs repairing use "aptitude purge"
followed by the package names to drop them out of your system.
Then and re-install them.
The squid wiki.squid-cache.org/KnowledgeBase/Debian has the required
options to build squid for Debian.
