Hi Andrei Yes I know, but there is zilch in /var for Synaptics history. I mean, it must be somewhere on the harddrive. I have a problem on Fedora 9, where synaptic will not install packages, but will remove them, and I know that Fedora's apt-rpm is different to Debians, but I removed synaptic, including all files, yet when I re-installed synaptic, all the history was still available from previous installs using synaptic. I know when you say remove all files, sometimes some stuff is left behind, but I'm darned if I can find out where the history files are. Perhaps I will have to go to the home page for synaptic, and if there's a mailing list/forum see if someone can point me in the right direction to these files. Thanks for your reply.
