How do I remove cleanly darkcoin-qt application (the wallet for darkcoin) ? I tried "sudo apt-get remove darkcoin-qt" but it does not work ("unable to locate package...").

  • If you didn't install a deb or through apt-get, you can't remove it from apt-get.

  • OK, is there a way to remove it completely ?

  • Depends on how you installed it. Did you just extract files somewhere? Did you compile something?

  • I followed the guide: darkcointalk.org/threads/… ; so yes I had to compile.

As long as you didn't run sudo make install, you can just remove the folder, and Darkcoin itself will be removed. If the program stores any configuration settings, you'll need to remove those yourself. They may be in ~/.darkcoin or ~/.config/darkcoin (or similarly-named folders).

To remove the build dependencies, run sudo apt-get purge qt4-qmake libqt4-dev build-essential libboost-dev libboost-system-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-program-options-dev libboost-thread-dev libssl-dev libdb++-dev libminiupnpc-dev followed by sudo apt-get autoremove. If you know you use any of the build dependencies listed in other software, remove it from this list.
