Subject: [Hampshire] Removing a package installed by apt-get
I installed thttpd using apt-get then realised that the box already has apache on as part of another
job that it does.

I installed thttpd using

apt-get install thttpd thttpd-utils

I've tried to remove it using

apt-get remove thttpd thttpd-utils

and it reports that it's removed them but when I look there are still references to it in
/etc/init.d/ and it's directory /etc/thttpd is still there.

I've disabled it booting or not at startup but I thought apt-get remove would have nuked all
references to it.

Is there a better way to remove it ??

Thanks
Brian
