Uninstall Deluge after manual install

Post by stefan »

Hi everybody!
After I installed deluge by using python setupy.py install, I want to remove it again properly. python setupy.py remove doesn't work. So what is the official way to remove a manual installation again? If it's not removed I can't install deluge anymore with my package system.
Maybe s.b can help me here....

distutils offers no uninstallation method, you have to remove everything manually, you'll want to remove:

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/deluge
/usr/lib/python2.X/site-packages/deluge*
/usr/share/deluge/*
/usr/share/applications/deluge.desktop
/usr/share/pixmaps/deluge.xpm

this would do it for the locales:
rm `find /usr/share/locale -name 'deluge.mo'`

FYI a while ago I added to the makefile a "make uninstall target" I believe it was right before 0.5.2

AFAIK there is no make uninstall target yet in deluge. They are working on having it but around 0.6.0 IIRC . That would be cool :)
