The clean way to uninstall the between binaries & sources

Post by shirish »

Hi all,
There is a beautiful howto about how to go about uninstalling the sources http://forum.deluge-torrent.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=85
but there is no way told howto uninstall the .deb files smoothly . The easiest/simplest way is to

Code: Select all

sudo aptitude purge deluge-torrent
Similarly if deluge is installed from the .deb then

Code: Select all

sudo dpkg -P deluge-torrent 
atleast in ubuntu as well as debian (most probably) . Purging is better as it will remove
the package for sure as well as the configuration files. This is needed if cleanliness between the two have to be maintained.
Debian Sid, Intel Dual-Core, 512 kbps DL , 64 Kbps UL, deluge-1.3.5, pieces plugin, GNOME 3.4.x
