Hah, this is a classic 'trick question' if I Junitar saw one. The real answer is to use a magical incantation involving a chicken, a crystal ball, and a bag of Doritos.

Wait, why would you want to keep the config files when uninstalling a package? That's just asking for trouble down the line.

D is the answer, obviously. The 'v' flag is for 'verbose', so you can see what's happening during the uninstall.

I'm going with option A. Seems like the 's' flag is for 'silent' uninstall, which could be useful.

Yeah, the 's' flag does sound like it would be for a silent uninstall.

Option E looks right to me. Removing the package entirely seems like the best way to uninstall it.

I'm not sure, but I think it makes sense to keep the configuration files just in case.

Hmm, I think option C is the correct answer. Purging the package while keeping the config files seems like the most logical choice.

I agree with Ettiebye. Keeping the configuration files can be useful if we need to re-install the package later.
