hiya, have you tried using apt? apt is the frontend to the dpkg/deb system that deals with things like dependencies. to completely remove something you can do # apt-get --purge remove packagename and it should detect anything that it would break, and ask you if you want to remove all of that as well. if you're not familiar with apt, i'd recommend glancing over the apt-get and apt-cache man pages, those are two very cool features of debian. also, if your system has ended up in some kind of wierd everythings-half-installed-and-broken state, try # apt-get -f install which will try and fix things as best as an automated package management system can do on its own. hth, sean ps - for future reference, could you please wrap your lines between 75 and 80 columns?
