does apt-get/aptitude remove not give you any idea? i always do this and it seems they are gone forever.
apt-get --purge remove exim4
Or
apt-get purge exim4
Less typing
Indeed, I had that originally, but he said "completely", soooo....
(edit) Then again, rm -rf / will completely remove it too (/edit)
...And a few other things as well
man apt-get says that "apt-get purge" and "apt-get --purge remove" are equivalent.
Ah! That's changed then, and quite handy. Back in the old days (somewhere around slink or potato or thereabouts) you had to specify --purge remove; guess it just got stuck in my head.
Ah, got it. I'm a Deb newbie and don't know the history.
Please try to following command
apt-get remove exim4-base
Your all problem will sorted out.
apt-get purge exim4*
I believe that only uninstalls the base package and not any of the add ons.
thank you guys
purge... PURGEEEEE ftw
