[ILUG-Cochin.org] how to remove partially configured package...

[Shibin k.reeny]

hai,
I was trying to install gnomenu-themes-gnomelook_0.1-2~20081214_all.deb
but ended with segmentation error.
After that i forgot about that and next day i tried to install another 
package it gave error message saying:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
E: The package gnomenu-themes-gnomelook needs to be reinstalled, but I 
can't find an archive for it.
then i tried *apt-get install -f
*but it also gave me above message.

then i tried to reinstall that package  ended with same segmentation error.
all i know was that the package was not installed but some configuration 
has happened for that package...
to remove this partially configuration  i  used this  command  :
 *dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq gnomenu-themes-gnomelook
*atlast it worked and everything was fine.
hope that this will be useful for someone.
bye.
*
