View 8 Replies View RelatedI have installed a package via command line via following command
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
How I can remove this package ? what is the command ?
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.
