Bug Description

Binary package hint: synaptic

What I did:

I marked a package which was uninstalled but whose configuration files weren't purged for complete removal.

What I expected to happen:

The apply button should get clickable.

What happened instead:

The apply button stays greyed out so I cannot purge the configuration files for the selected package.

Workaround:

Do something else additionally, reinstalling another package for example so the apply button turns into a clickable state.
