I recently installed Kingsoft Office just for trying it out.When I tried to purge it, I faced some problems. Writer, Presentation etc.. can be opened with commands like et
, etc.. So, my first trial was to try sudo apt-get purge et
, but it came up with an error et is not installed
. I tried sudo dpkg -P kingsoft-office
because the version in this screen shot says kingsoft-office
. Even this didn't work.
But, running sudo apt-get purge kingsoft-office
worked!!
- Isn't
apt-get
just a frontend ofdpkg
? What exactly is the difference between them? - Why did
sudo apt-get purge kingsoft-office
work andsudo dpkg -P kingsoft-office
not work?
