With eterm I did purge it and when I try to re-install I get the following: # apt-get install eterm Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done E: Couldn't find package eterm I did a dpkg --forget-old-unavail but that doesn't seem to help. Is there a way to wipe this stuff and start from scratch? again.. thanks..
