"dpkg --purge etckeeper" was the goal to solve the Problem! Ok but what can I do if I still would like to use etckeeper. As far as I know I can save different States from etc files to downgrading to the old Version when i get an error in a configuration. Do I have the files manually backup? automatic backup of course, would also be a nice tool to have.
Either make sure you are using the most recent version etckeeper, if that doesn't work either check http://bugs.debian.org/etckeeper and if there isn't an according bugreport yet open one yourself.
Another option is to use mercurial instead of git (etckeeper): http://michael-prokop.at/blog/2007/03/14/maintain-etc-with-mercurial-on-debi...
