How to remove the Autopackage environment

[Getafix]

In order to remove the Autopackage environment and all the applications installed with it, do the following:
Note: You may choose to uninstall only the Autopackage environment.
In that case you will only be able to remove the applications manually!


1. List the packages installed

Code: Select all

$ package list
autopackage-gtk: Autopackage Software Installer (GTK+)
oolite-trunk: Oolite-trunk for Linux
oolite: Oolite for Linux

2. Remove applications leaving anything that starts with "autopackage" for last.
If the package was installed as root, you will have to remove it as root too.

Code: Select all

$ package remove oolite

Removing currently installed version of 'Oolite for Linux'.
This may take a moment, please wait ... Error: Package was installed by root, so you must be root to remove the package
$ sudo package remove oolite

Removing currently installed version of 'Oolite for Linux'.
This may take a moment, please wait ... done

Code: Select all

$ package remove oolite-trunk

Removing currently installed version of 'Oolite-trunk for Linux'.
This may take a moment, please wait ... Error: Package was installed by root, so you must be root to remove the package
$ sudo package remove oolite-trunk

Removing currently installed version of 'Oolite-trunk for Linux'.
This may take a moment, please wait ... done

Code: Select all

$ package remove autopackage-gtk

Removing currently installed version of 'Autopackage Software Installer (GTK+)'.
This may take a moment, please wait ... Error: Package was installed by root, so you must be root to remove the package
$ sudo package remove autopackage-gtk

Removing currently installed version of 'Autopackage Software Installer (GTK+)'.
This may take a moment, please wait ... done

3. Remove the Autopackage runtime

Code: Select all

$ package remove autopackage

Removing currently installed version of 'autopackage'.
This may take a moment, please wait ... Error: Package was installed by root, so you must be root to remove the package
$ sudo package remove autopackage

Removing currently installed version of 'autopackage'.
This may take a moment, please wait ... done

In the example above, all the packages had been installed as root, consequently, I had to remove everything as root.

I am removing this from sticky.
I don't think that anyone is using the obsolete autopackage installation.
