all efter that, at least what I've seen so far. I used Synaptic, searched
for the numbers (24-17 and 6.22 respectively) and got six hits (if only
installed packages are counted), I think. I marked all of them for total
removal and hit Apply. It even automatically applied the appropriate changes
in menu.lst!

In your case, maybe there are something more to uninstall that you missed.
Do a search in synaptic for the version numbers only, or even only a part of
the version numbers, such as 24-17. Maybe you'll find something that is
still installed.
