Error with APE Server Installation
- by sadmicrowave
I was trying to install APE-Server from the .deb file at the ape-server homepage (www.ape-project.org) and I ran into an error so wanted to try removing the installation and reinstalling. I did a sudo apt-get remove ape-server which ran successfully but left ape-server folders in my /etc/ and /etc/init.d locations. Me being an idiot new comer to linux decided that manually delete those folders. Now when I reinstall the ape-server those folders don't get recreated and therefore I cannot send the
/etc/init.d/ape-server [option]
command because the folder is not found.
When I try to sudo apt-get purge (or remove) ape-server I get the following
sudo apt-get purge ape-server

Errors were encountered while processing:

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
My question is; how do I remove all of the ape-server installation packages that were installed so I can reinstall from scratch?
