Miten pystyn poistamaan Operan, kun asensin sen erillisestä .tar.gz -paketista?
Tämä on juuri keskeisin ongelma asennellessa ohjelmia ohi paketinhallinnan. Ohjelmien päivittäminen sekä poistaminen tapahtuu "manuaalisesti", kuten Janne kertoi. Joissakin tapauksissa tar.gz-paketit jopa tarjoavat mahdollisen uninstallerin - yleisemmin eivät. Erityisesti, kun puhutaan suljetun koodin softasta (kuten Opera), voi moni oleellinen seikka jäädä yritykseltä kertomatta.
Tässä pieni esimerkki ohjelmasta (jokin Opera 8.51) ja sen asentamista tiedostoista:
