how to clean up dpkg ?

[Moti Levy <moti@flncs.com>]

Hi ,
I'm trying ( in-vain so far ) to install gnome2 ,
i've had gnome on this computer and run apt-get remove gnome ...
when i run dpkg -l |grep fnome i get :
rc  gnome-core     1.4.1-1        Common files for GNOME core apps
ii  gnome-desktop- 2.0.3-1        Common files for GNOME 2 desktop apps

can somene explain what rc means and what ii means ?
i've looked through the apt-howto and the dpkg man page but cant find 
any refrence to it .
also , lets say i wanted to start from scratch is there a way to delete 
all *gnome* packages ?
apt-get remove `dpkg -l |grep gnome |awk '{print $2}'` but that does not 
work .
thanks
