Installing and uninstalling .deb package
Submitted by ggarron on Sat, 07/12/2008 - 14:05.Debian uses .deb binary packages and you manually install and uninstall them using dpkg tool.
dpkg has lots of options but maybe the most important or used ones are:
- -i
- Installs and configures a package
- -r
- Removes the package but keeps the configuration files on your systems, thus you may reinstall it later and does not need to configure it again
- -p
- Purges a package, meaning it will remove the package and also all configuration files
How to use it
