Hello All!

I would like to purge some deleted files on a JAM echo area but when I use 
hptutil this is the result:

8<---8<---8<---8<---8<---8<---8<---8<---8<---8<---8<---8<---8<---8<---

ftn@devuan:~$ hptutil purge

8<---8<---8<---8<---8<---8<---8<---8<---8<---8<---8<---8<---8<---8<---

And no messages purged from the JAM area.

When I run hptutil in a Linux 32 box (my point) everything goes fine.

Both hptutil the 64 and the 32 bit versions are built from the latest source 
tarball available from
http://download.huskyproject.org/sources/husky-all-1.9-source-20190112.zip

The 64 bit box is a Devuan ascii, the 32 bit box is an Ununtu 18.04.1 LTS.

Please can someone help me with this issue? :)

Many thanks.

Ciao!
Fabio
