With aptitude you might want to try running

    aptitude keep-all

The 'rc' packages shouldn't be a problem (see the header of the output 
of an explanation of the flags) and getting rid of them should be as 
simple as

    aptitude purge '?config-files'


The 'ri' means 'dpkg' thinks they are installed, but remove was 
requested.

If you still need them try downloading the .deb files and passing them 
to `dpkg -i` otherwise pass the list to one of `apt purge`,
`aptitude purge` or `dpkg --purge`.

Or it might be taken care of by `aptitude keep-all` ;)


Hope this helps,
Andrei
