How I can remove this package ? what is the command ?
I use the command

I have installed, actually just tried to, BSecPKLinux-2.0.0.0007 as token utility, but the attempt screwed my synaptic. I'm using a ubuntu 10.10.While running the install file, a package failed to install and from then on I was never able to fix this. the package is rnboifd. When i try to uninstall it or purge it using dpkg it complains it is in a "very bad inestable state" and should reinstalled. when trying to reinstall fails.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there a formal documented way? I have found a method of doing it, but I find it difficult to believe the ability to uninstall is not formally supported. [URL]
Essentially:
When you install - python setup.py install --record files.txt
When you uninstall - cat files.txt | xargs rm -rf
This will, however, require the user to look through files.txt like a hawk. It is really not an ideal situation I would think.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI been in the linux world about a whole week now. I have dual booted my laptop with xp and unbuntu 9.04. Everything is great but I would like to delete ubuntu and give fedora a try. I wish to keep windows xp for now. If I use windows to delete ubuntu partions, soon as I reboot grub will be gone and I will not be able to get to xp.
I thinking if I boot to fedora live dvd, wipe out ubuntu partitions, re-create partitions in the exact same space, install fedora and then reboot I will be fine. Am I right here or not. Will fedora reinstall grub, lilo or whatever to the mbr and when I reboot I will get a menu that allows me to choose which os I want to boot just as I am currently doing. Loosing windows is not an option just yet.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am running fedora 12. I had could nor locate the Tcl/Tk on the system, so I had to download, compile and intstall the raw the raw tar balls. That is now causing some problems and I want to revert to the Fedora Tcl/Tk and reinstall it using yum as the self compiled code may not be well integrated with fedora. The make file gives no room for an un-install. I appreciate any ideas on how to go about the un-installation. Secondly the fedora system is running gnome, how may I switch to KDE instead?
