Thanks, Matt I removed all instances of freerad in dpkg except for one. freeradius-config. Please can you have a look at the error and advise? Once I get rid of it, I'll build 3.0.11 from source per your advice and will follow the instructions on the wjkie: http://wiki.freeradius.org/building/Build many thanks again. doug@db-dell:~$ dpkg --get-selections | grep freerad *freerad*ius-config purge doug@db-dell:~$ doug@db-dell:~$ doug@db-dell:~$ sudo apt-get --purge remove freeradius-config Reading package lists...

I edited statoverride and removed the freerad entry
I ran apt-get purge freeradius as well as apt-get purge libfreeradius2
Did you purge all of the freeradius packages?
# dpkg --get-selections | grep freerad
for each of those
# apt-get --purge remove ...
then you should be OK. Removing /etc/freeradius shouldn't cause problems like that, and I've done it plenty of times. Otherwise there may be something wrong with the packages you are using; I don't where they're from (I just build packages from the freeradius source).
