Hi,

I'm having some trouble using dpkg for removing packages:

~# dpkg -l

ii  elm-me+         2.4pl25ME+39-1 MIME & PGP-aware interactive mail reader

which means the package is installed, but:

~# dpkg --remove elm-me+_2.4pl25ME+39-1
dpkg - warning: ignoring request to remove elm-me+_2.4pl25ME+39-1 which
isn't installed.

I even tried:
# dpkg --force --remove elm-me+_2.4pl25ME+39-1
# dpkg --force-remove-reinstreq elm-me+_2.4pl25ME+39-1
dpkg: need an action option

I'd like to do this through dpkg, but eventually had to do it with
dselect... what's wrong here?

Also, does dselect use the same db than dpkg (it should if dselect is dpkg's
gui)?

TIA
