Okk.. well then you should try this command..
Code:
sudo apt-get --purge remove <package name>
but this works only when you have that package installed..
suppose you have uninstalled that package and then run this command.. you will get an error..
so,, in order to remove the old configuration files with the package already removed you should probably try this command..
Code:
sudo dpkg --purge <package name>
and as i have already mentioned..this works even when the package is not really installed..
