<dotCOMmie> I seem to have trace down what causes https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eucalyptus/+bug/461202
<dotCOMmie> When purging "eucalyptus-common eucalyptus-cloud eucalyptus-walrus eucalyptus-sc eucalyptus-cc eucalyptus-nc" files are deleted which belong to eucalyptus-java-common
<dotCOMmie> These are files under /etc and are not removed by eucalyptus-java-common on "uninstall" of this package, which is triggered by above action
<dotCOMmie> so when re-installing those packages these files in /etc are not put back by eucalyptus-java-common (this package going from u to i)
<dotCOMmie> The work around is to use "aptitude --purge-unused purge eucalyptus-common eucalyptus-cloud eucalyptus-walrus eucalyptus-sc eucalyptus-cc eucalyptus-nc"
<dotCOMmie> which purges all dependent packages which would simply have been uninstalled otherwise
