Is 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.
I have installed db2 express-c on Ubuntu 10.04 server using apt-get; the installation is successful but I noticed that libasound2-dev package has been installed along with db2.I don't want this ALSA sound package, when I tried to remove it by "apt-get remove" it was trying to uninstall DB2 as well as there is a dependency. So, how do I remove ALSA package without removing DB2 ?PS: Also, db2 installed X11 packages like libx11-dev, libxproto-core-dev etc., which are also not need for me as it is a sever OS.

Any ideas as to whats going on with that?

I cannot uninstall Firefox, nor can I uninstall Chromium; one always stays if the other is uninstalled. For example, if I remove Firefox, Chromium will appear in its place and vice versa. This has got to be one of the weirdest bugs I've ever seen on Ubuntu! So, how can I uninstall both web browsers?
