In a different email, under the heading: Re: Installing an Alternative
Init? Andrei posted this in part:
[quote] A package not properly cleaning after itself on purge is
generally considered a bug in Debian, severity depending on the impact,
of course. [end quote]
I suppose this is literal, just that package?
Because I have install a package which also pulled in some
dependencies.
Upon purging it, because it didn't suit the purpose of what I wanted to
do. It purged itself, but left the dependencies on the system.
I can only suppose this is what is supposed to happen? I backtracked and
found them, purging each in turn.
I also suppose this is what's supposed to happen?
Or is there some command using apt-get that allows me to purge a
package and the dependencies it pulled in as well?
Just curious and trying to learn a bit more.
Thanks,
Charlie
