So how do I remove the files listed by dpkg and have the package manager
know that it is now not installed? I know there is --force but I'm not sure
if that's the right thing for here. The package isn't broken.
apt-get --purge remove <package>
Not sure of the dpkg equivalent.
dpkg --purge exim
Perfect, thanks that did the trick. I had tried apt-get --purge but that didn't
work.
The above did.
Penedo suggested to re-install then purge the package but I couldn't do that as a
reinstall would clash with the currently installed qmail package.
Thanks all.
