OK, thanks for that... Wish I'd known to look for `purge' in man
aptitude. I breezed right over it like a doodoo.
Still not finding concise information about how to interpret the
output of `aptitude'... I'm sure its equally obvious but I need a clue
with the search strings.
After purge I still see things that puzzle. Like the uppercase A and
the fact that `sendmail' is still not installed.
p sendmail
i A sendmail-base
i sendmail-bin
i A sendmail-cf
p sendmail-doc
