Title:
  Synaptic: Cannot purge package configuration files in Ubuntu 11.04

Status in The synaptic package manager:
  New
Status in “synaptic” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: synaptic

  What I did:

  I marked a package which was uninstalled but whose configuration files
  weren't purged for complete removal.

  What I expected to happen:

  The apply button should get clickable.

  What happened instead:

  The apply button stays greyed out so I cannot purge the configuration
  files for the selected package.

  Workaround:

  Do something else additionally, reinstalling another package for
  example so the apply button turns into a clickable state.
