Hello,
during the upgrade of udev, it found that I still have /etc/init.d/hotplug.
This is true, but since I remove the hotplug package before (apt-get remove
hotplug) I have still the config files.
Not "apt-get remove --purge hotplug" does not work (see below). Can anybody
tell how I can purge config files?
[...]
grieve:~# apt-get remove --purge hotplug
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Package hotplug is not installed, so not removed
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 5 not upgraded.

Try "dpkg -P hotplug".
If the package is properly purged you should see this:
$ dpkg -l hotplug
