installing debs on top of compiled deluge

Post by asymmetric »

hi!

i'm on ubuntu feisty
as the subject states, i compiled and installed deluge's sources..

now that the debs are out, i'd like to use them.. is it safe installing the debs via dpkg, will they overwrite the previous install cleanly?
and otherwise, is there a clean way to remove everything the setup installed? (i know i may look at the logfile that was created and delete every entry by hand, but i was looking for something more automated)

particularly, how does one remove/add programs in the applications menu?

thanks a lot :)

`make uninstall` in the source directory and then you can install via dpkg -i

actually there is no makefile!
i installed using the setup.py file!

EDIT
sorry, there is a Makefile, but there's no uninstall option in it (only clean)
