Re: Purge leaves some files

Helo!

Thank you everyone for the help I received.

I have tried to install/purge the same applications with aptitude on another computer and all went well. I conclude that the problem came into existance becouse apt-get did not purge the package dependencies along with the original package. Apt-get tried to purge only the "original" package, but left its dependencies intact.
Now the problem is there, how can I correct it? How can I delete the leftover files? I should determine somehow what where the demendencies, and purge them too with apt-get? Would this delete the leftover files to?
