You have two options: 1) Do what the PostRmScript is supposed to do by hand (do the same for emacs20 and emacs22 if you have them installed): rm -rf /sw/share/emacs21/site-lisp/auctex rm -rf /sw/var/lib/auctex/emacs21 and then remove the remove/auctex script: rm -f /sw/lib/emacsen-common/packages/remove/auctex Finally remove auctex with fink remove auctex. 2) Alternatively you can install fileutils and then remove auctex with fink remove auctex.
