Thanks for your answer. I have a feeling that I posed my qustion badly. I am able to remove both packages by writing apt-get remove package1 package2 However I would like to purge instead of remove, and as far as I have understood this requires that I can purge the packages one at a time. I guess that I can solve my problem by the following code apt-get remove package1 package2 apt-get install package1 dpkg -P package1 apt-get install package2 dpkg -P package2 -- Niels L Ellegaard http://dirac.ruc.dk/~gnalle/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
