tazpkg remove gitmail
/usr/bin/gitmail and /usr/share/applications/gitmail.desktop are gone.
tazpkg get-install gitmail
/usr/bin/gitmail and /usr/share/applications/gitmail.desktop are back

You got a problem between the monitor and keyboard ;))

PEBKAC!

Already chose "Remove" from the GUI pkg manager. That option is no longer available.

When I try it from tazpkg, it gives megitmail is not installed.

So, don't know how to help you, there, buddy.

Same thing with a few other programmes. tazpkg is not removing packages.

Hi, Vinyl

Give a look at this directory: /usr/share/applications .

It contains every *.desktop file that is used to build entries of your SliTaz menu. Just delete (or backup if you prefer) the one named as the program that did not get removed correctly and the menu entry will disappear (now or at next reboot, I cannot remember).

It will temporarily solve your problem but this is not *a definitive solution* to this bug in tazpkg. This bug does not exist for me, with a SliTaz 2.0 stable.
I cannot tell you more...

You may want to make this automatic, with a simple shell script:
#!/bin/sh
if [ $(id -u) -ne 0 ]; then
echo "Must be root to run this script" >&2
exit
elif [ -n "$1" ]; then
tazpkg remove $1
[ -f /usr/share/applications/${1}.desktop ] && rm -f /usr/share/applications/${1}.desktop
fi
(you could name it "remove-pkg-forced.sh" or something like this)

I believe the problem is here http://labs.slitaz.org/issues/show/56 You likely have tazpkg 2.6.1 , stable tazpkg dbase has 2.8.1, cooking 3.1. Broken packages aren't always updated with fixed in stable 2.0.iso and the tazpkg repositorys. I'm using stable 2.0 and couldn't get mpg123 1.7.2 to work. I decided to check slitaz labs issue tracker and sure enough it had been fixed in june.The fixed package mpg123 1.8.0 is only on cooking, the broken one remains on stable. Maybe a SliTaz team member will read this and remove the broken pkg.

Hi cavalier911

I've updated the stable package: http://hg.slitaz.org/wok-stable/rev/aeffb44a3705
