Problem with deinstalling emacs20
Hi,
I can not (completely) deinstall emacs20. I have removed all emacs*
packages, including emacs, emacs19, but I do not get rid of emacs20.
This is not WinExploder in disguise, is it? ;-)
I want to remove it because I had the impression it did not install
properly. How do I get rid of it (without installing the whole system
again)?
