Description
**[Markus Karg](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=mkarg)** opened **[MDEP-574](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MDEP-574?redirect=false)** and commented
Apparently MDEP's purge-local-repository cannot explicitly include dependencies with custom types, like "de.quipsy:qsstatoleobject-pbd:pbd", because (according to the javadocs of private String gavToPath( String gav )) the goal's private coordiante parser expects g:a:v, while the actual coordinates of this include are g:a:t:v.
Effectively this render \ not mathing anything.
Workaround: Do not use includes, but simply purge ALL dependencies (in this case, the artifact is correctly found, and in debug mode also is correctly reported as "Puring artifact: g:a:t:v".

Research direction
Start at the purge-local-repository goal and inspect the private gavToPath(String gav) coordinate parser described in the issue. Reproduce an include using the g:a:t:v custom-type form, then verify that the specified artifact is located and purged rather than ignored.
