I would suggest doing a dpkg --list |more and see if the package is listed. If not then you might have come configuration files still on your system that were not removed from your last removal. To remove these I would do a apt-get -purge <filename>. Then I would do the apt-get -remove <filename> Then you can reinstall if you want the program installed. HTH Don --- "Stephen J.
