Indeed it seems to be finding me lots of packages like these: bash-2.05b# dpkg -L xserver-svga Package `xserver-svga' does not contain any files (!) bash-2.05b# dpkg -L guile1.3 Package `guile1.3' does not contain any files (!) bash-2.05b# dpkg -L libperl5.6 Package `libperl5.6' does not contain any files (!) I thought when a package's last file was replaced the package was marked purged. These are all marked "rc", ie, indicating that config files are present. -- greg
