2011-04-21 11:45:03 Julian Andres Klode description Binary package hint: apt I have tried purging "php5-mhash", which has been removed in Lucid (via Conflicts). "apt-cache purge" selected php5-common instead (which now provides php5-mhash) and wanted to purge this package! Apt-get should handle this the same way as any non-installed package, i.e. currently it would say the package is uninstalled and cannot get purged therefore (which is bug 244598). But in the end, it should just purge the given package, just like "dpkg -P" would do.
