Reinstall Firefly on Debian

[Anonymous]

Hello

I would like to completly reinstall mt-daapd on debian, because I made some kind of a mess with my current mt-daapd (I’m trying to solve my problems now for like 3 h or something….)

So can please somebody tell me what I have to delete in addition to “arp-get remove mt-daapd” (because I think this does not completly deinstall it)

thx very much

I think the db is probably not part of the package, so you’ll want to delete that with “rm /var/cache/mt-daapd/songs.db” (or songs3.db, if you are using sqlite3).

Then just do a regular apt-get remove –purge mt-daapd, which will get rid of config files, too.

I though the correct order was:

apt-get remove mt-daapd –purge

But you might aswell run this:

apt-get install mt-daapd –reinstall

thx for your help!

I just had to remove /usr/share/mt-daapd after the deinstallation.

But now it works fine!

Must work either way, because I regularly do “apt-get remove –purge foo”

*hrm*
And now days we are supposed to use ‘aptitude‘ instead of ‘apt-get‘

Like ‘aptitude purge mt-daapd‘ etc

I usally just change ‘apt-get‘ with ‘aptitude‘ and it works 😉
