Bug Description
Binary package hint: apt
I wanted to purge a packages config-files after i had it removed already, apt won't do the job although dpkg does:
alex@cappuccino
deinstall ok config-files bcm43xx-fwcutter
alex@cappuccino
Paketlisten werden gelesen... Fertig
Abhängigkeitsbaum wird aufgebaut
Reading state information... Fertig
Paket bcm43xx-fwcutter ist nicht installiert, wird also auch nicht entfernt (english: not installed, will not be removed)
0 aktualisiert, 0 neu installiert, 0 zu entfernen und 0 nicht aktualisiert.

Entferne bcm43xx-fwcutter ... (english: removing bcm...)
Lösche Konfigurationsd
Is this correct behaviour or a bug?
