Thanks for posting this gem! However, I could be wrong, but I think there is a typo. Might just be how my web translation came across. The last command should be: $sudo apt-get purge $(aptitude search '?config-files' -F %p) No tick in front of the %p and a close-parenthesis at the end. One might also use the --dry-run option first as well just in case... Keith Ostertag -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
