Re: A package that does not want to die
I would suggest doing a dpkg --list |more and see if
the package is listed. If not then you might have
come configuration files still on your system that
were not removed from your last removal. To remove
these I would do a apt-get -purge <filename>. Then I
would do the apt-get -remove <filename> Then you can
reinstall if you want the program installed.
