residual configuration of packages in Synaptic and i cant purge them
Hello,
When i use synaptic, i have seen that i have a lot of packages into the "residual configuration" set, but when i select them for purging, i cannot "apply", i have to make another action (upgrade, install, remove) to make it possible...
im using Ubuntu 11.04
is it a bug? is it a normal behavior?
thank you so much

Yikes that's loads.
Run:
dpkg -l | grep '^rc' | awk '{print $2}' | xargs dpkg --purge
and it will clean up that rubbish.
