Hi, > Have you tried apt-get --purge remove <program name>
Just did this. I got the following Reading Package Lists... Building Dependency Tree... The following packages will be REMOVED: aime* 0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 3 not upgraded. 1 packages not fully installed or removed. Need to get 0B of archives. After unpacking 2408kB will be freed. Do you want to continue? [Y/n] dpkg: error processing aime (--purge): Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should reinstall it before attempting a removal. Errors were encountered while processing: aime E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) ... how do I reinstall the thing? Is 'reinstallation' distinct from plain installation? I tried downloading the .deb directly and dpkg -i installing it ... no go. I want this freakin' thing off my machine. Is there a way to effect that? Thanks, G
