Right. I managed to get rid of the second line by issuing: # dpkg --forget-old-unavail But the first one changed status to (don't know for sure when): un libera-gbeth <none> (no description available) # dpkg -P libera-gbeth dpkg - warning: ignoring request to remove libera-gbeth which isn't installed. # dpkg --forget-old-unavail # dpkg -l libera-gbeth un libera-gbeth <none> (no description available) # dpkg --force-all -r libera-gbeth dpkg - warning: ignoring request to remove libera-gbeth which isn't installed. # dpkg -r libera-gbeth dpkg - warning: ignoring request to remove libera-gbeth which isn't installed.
