<br>information you've given. If you give us the names of the packages still<br>showing and that you tried to remove we may be able to figure out the name to<br>give apt-get. However do try the aptitude route it may help better.

David,<br>

I searched the packages in synaptic and they had been removed already.
I think I got rid of it but now I have a problem with OOo 2.0. I dont
know if it is related. I posted the porblem on another thread.<br>
