Hi all, I have done multiple installs of CouchDB using sudo aptitude install couchdb sudo ap-get install couchdb
and more recently based on the instructions found at L http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Installing_on_Ubuntu
May I know how do I uninstall or remove all the above installations?
Best Regards. +++++++++++++++++++UPDATE++++++++++++++++++++++++
I've tried running the following commands:
apt-get remove couchdb
apt-get purge couchdb
but received the following errors:
(Reading database ... 39814 files and directories currently installed.)
Removing couchdb ...
invoke-rc.d: initscript couchdb, action "stop" failed.
dpkg: error processing couchdb (--remove):
subprocess installed pre-removal script returned error exit status 1
invoke-rc.d: initscript couchdb, action "start" failed.
dpkg: error while cleaning up:
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
couchdb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
May I know how do i fix this?
ON issuing the command : dpkg -l | grep couchdb I received the following response:
rF couchdb 0.10.0-1ubuntu2 RESTful document oriented database, system D
iF couchdb-bin 0.10.0-1ubuntu2 RESTful document oriented database, programs
How do i uninstall CouchDB ? I think there's some file corruption?
