Program uninstalled but still on list to remove
I have installed mysql-server-5.1 from terminal.
Something went wrong and I had to uninstall it, done.
When I type: sudo apt-get remove mysql
double tab, it still give me a list with some mysql options, trying to remove them I get this message:
Here is the list:
mysql-common mysql-server-5.1 mysql-workbench-gpl
And this is the message
Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Package mysql-server-5.1 is not installed, so not removed 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 3 not upgraded.
Is it really removed? If so, is there a way to remove it from the list?
