Which files are you referring to? I believe it's standard (debian) policy to not remove user configuration files when uninstalling a package. That would be anything in ~/.packagename, for example.

Classic example of arbitrary Nokia decision making. Couldn't just fallback to the no brainer of tagging with lat/lon if network isn't accessible, could you Nokia?

can't remember all of them for freeciv, but I think I mentioned some of them earlier in this thread. Civclient and civ something else, there were 2 files to do with the icon and the apps list that remained after uninstall. There were 3 or 4 others I found too, but can't remember anything about those.
I think there was a similar situation with open arena but that llooked like just a couple. There might be others I haven't seen I just dont know. That's why I was asking the question-I have no idea what is usual or unusual in the linux world. I'm trying to learn the ways of the force

If that is the case, you *should* be able to remove things with...
... but if the files are still there, you'd need to manually delete the files after.Code:sudo gainroot mv /var/lib/dpkg/info/freeciv* /tmp/ dpkg --remove --force-depends --force-remove-reinstreq freeciv freeciv-client-sdl freeciv-server freeciv-data

So, freeciv is in extras-testing now, but it can't install due to lacking freeciv-data and freeciv-server.
Did I catch it in the midst of promotion to testing?

I have been able to install it from Testing but when I press on Start New Game it freezes and I have to close the application.
Have anyone experienced this?

Just as a point of interest, why do some apps not remove all the files when you un-install? And would it be only apps from testing and devel that might be likely for that to happen, or possibly other repos?
