Good idea.

root at belanna:~# aptitude remove grub-doc
[..]
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  grub-doc 
[..]
Removing grub-doc ...
root at belanna:~# 

root at belanna:~# aptitude install grub-doc
[..]
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  grub-doc 
[..]
Selecting previously deselected package grub-doc.
(Reading database ... 151962 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking grub-doc (from .../grub-doc_0.97-10_all.deb) ...
Setting up grub-doc (0.97-10) ...

root at belanna:~# 

(The same with purge instead of remove.)


Hm, I cannot reproduce it either.
Well, I guess if noone else comes up with the phenomenon you can
close the bug.

Thank for your quick response!


Cheers,
