By default, reinstall does not touch config files. Config files

Even removing a package first and then installing leaves the
config files untouched (or empty as in your case). In principle,
if dpkg detects that a config file has been modified, it should
ask you what to do about it, but apparently it doesn't do this in
your case. You have to "purge" a package, either with the fink
command or with dpkg, in order to remove config files. A
subsequent install brings the default config files back. "dpkg -i
--force-confnew" should do the reinstallation without purging first.
Boy was I hoping that would work!
$ sudo dpkg -i --force-confnew apache2-ssl-common
Password:
/sw/bin/dpkg: error processing apache2-ssl-common (--install):
cannot access archive: No such file or directory
Errors were encountered while processing:
apache2-ssl-common
Of course, dpkg needs to be given the path to the deb, not just a name.
