Debian apt "remembering" things I don't want
Posted: Fri Dec 15, 2006 2:01 pm
I installed exim, my MTA of choice and accidentally chose the wrong option when it brought up a ncurses screen during the install. I chose to have a single config file rather than split. So I tried removing with "apt-get remove" and it worked but it left the config files. I deleted the config files manually and re-installed but the installer keeps halting and saying it can't find the config files. WTF?????? Surely it should be putting them there itself? 
I tried deleteing the .deb files from /var/cache/apt/archive but I'm still getting this problem. How do I "reset" apt so I can install this service the way I want? I can't install it at all now
Cheers
