 Hi,

 I noticed that chroot inside my AMD64 system, and I see that some packages
 have residual configuration files (according to synaptic).  But if I do
 'apt-get remove --purge package', apt tells me that the package is not
 installed and nothing is done.  This does work in my main AMD64 system
 for purging packages.  Any ideas?  Thanks.

That afaik never worked for removed packages. You can use dpkg --purge
there.

PS: you can make --purge default for apt so you don't get into this
state in the first palce.

I guess, the sysntax is wrong.  Type: apt-get --purge remove package, so that 
apt does not search after a package named --purge.
