Removing this is not intuitive, should one want to do so. What one needs is the names of all the package that were installed earlier. Extract the package names from the Debs (you can do this step right after installed the DEBS above): $> for f in *.deb; do echo $f; \ pkg=`echo $f | sed -e 's/\(.*\)_.*_.*\.deb/\1/'`; \ echo -n "$pkg " >> ~/Desktop/ooo3devpkgs.txt; done The package names are saved then in ~/Desktop/ooo3devpkgs.txt. One just selects these and paste these in the following command to purge the packages that were installed: $> sudo dpkg -P <paste the packages here> Finally, one needs to remove the directories left over from the installation: $> cd /usr/local/opt $> sudo rm -rf openoffice.org* (NB: I fail to understand why the directories are not removed by dpkg!?)
Sounds like a lot of work.
