How do I completely remove all references to couchdb from Ubuntu 11.10?
I have removed and purged couchdb from Ubuntu, but if I type "couchdb" in the shell at any point, the system still tries to start it up before crashing. I checked /usr/bin, and I still have references to couchdb, even after I purged:
$ /usr/bin: ls couch*
couchdb couchdb-dump couchdb-load couchdb-replicate couchjs couchpy
- What's the safest way to remove these references? Can I simply delete them, or will other artifacts be left behind?
- I also checked
.bash_profile, .bashrc, .profile, /etc/profile- are there other spots I should look for artifacts?
Solution 1:
To find the package name for a given file, use:
dpkg --search /usr/bin/couchdb
on my system this returns couchdb-bin, then you should do:
sudo apt-get --purge remove couchdb-bin
Repeat as many times as needed.
