Steve I read the subject line "Debian Bullseye" as meaning Linux. el On 2022-08-12 08:49 , Steve Litt wrote: [...] Hi Wolfgang, What El wrote is a shellscript.

Shellscripts can't be used on Windows unless you have Linux For Windows or Windows Posix or whatever. "realpath" is an actual shellscript command that resolves the true path/filename regardless of symlinks. So basically, for every directory name listed on the "for" line, delete the real filenamename associated with the first occurence of the list item that occurs first on the executable path. I'm personally not a fan of mass deletion inside a shellscript. If it were me, I'd substitute the line currently saying rm -rf $(realpath $(which $i)) with: echo $(realpath $(which $i)) That should give you a list of the true filenames to delete. I'd then check each one before deleting it manually. Also, if these are just executables and you installed them via a package from your distribution, the executables will "come back" the next time you get an update for the particular version. But I don't know your situation. SteveT -- lyx-users mailing list lyx-users@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users
Re: lyx remove in Debian bullseye
apt install coreutils
or
for i in lyx lyx24[0xn]
do
sudo find / -name $i -exec rm -rf {} ';'
done
this is not difficult.

Thanks, El,
but I do not know how to apply this script. How do I find the
realpath of my installed lyx's?
I checked the help files of lyx, but couldn't find a description of
how to uninstall a lyx file and all the stuff going with it.

Hi Wolfgang, I can't help you with your immediate problem, but if you again wish to install multiple versions of a program, I suggest using GNU Stow. It allows multiple versions to be installed and easily managed. Good luck with the more immediate problem.
