Hi all, Please excuse me if someone has already offered this, but I think the Apt provider should, in addition to -y and -q, also do --purge. This will remove config files and keeps /etc cleaner on the whole. Just a suggestion. Great product and keep up the good work etc. -- Gegroet, Tim (tim|mac or tim|imac on irc)

If you''re really keen on this feature, I''d recommend opening a feature request in the Puppet Trac. - Matt -- When all you have is a nailgun, every problem looks like a messiah. -- Iain Chalmers, ASR
