Wow, I didn't know it kept config files. That's handy!

Nope, --P removes everything, not just the package!

I’m a bit confused, but I think "dpkg --s" is for status. I just can't recall the exact command for uninstalling while keeping the config files.

I remember studying this, and I think "dpkg --P" is for purging, which removes everything. So it can't be that one.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like "dpkg --r" might be the right choice. It sounds familiar from a practice question I did last week.

I think the command we're looking for is the one that removes the package but keeps the config files. I remember something about "remove" in the command.

This one seems straightforward. I think the answer is the Options Bar, since that's where you can define settings related to the placement of elements.

I think I've got it! The "use prj1;" statement is likely useless since the scenario already specifies that Jack is the administrator of the project.

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.
SI
Simona

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