how to purge a src package?
Folks
I did an "apt-get -b source xawtv" last night (as per
http://bytesex.org/debian) and the build did not complete:
dh_movefiles
dh_movefiles: debian/tmp/usr/bin/ttv not found (supposed to put it in ttv)
find: usr/bin/ttv: No such file or directory
make: *** [install] Error 1
Build command 'cd xawtv-3.72 && dpkg-buildpackage -b -uc' failed.
E: Child process failed
(Wait! That's not my question. Read on.)
I then did a manual "make install" in order to try out the
binaries. This leaves Debian thinking the xawtv package is not
installed, where in fact it is brokenly half-installed.
My question is, how can I purge it?
(If your answer is of the form "serves you right for doing stuff by
hand", feel free to explain how I would purge the source assuming I
*hadn't* done a "make install".)
The other thing is, this command appears to have dumped the xawtv
source in /usr/xawtv-3.72, as opposed to something reasonable like,
say, /usr/src/xawtv-3.72. It didn't even tell me it was putting the
source there. Is any of this customizable?
