Completely Reinstall

[spencerocks]

While i was installing some of the modules i made some critical errors that now render them useless. I was wondering if there was a way to completely start all over again?

Thanks in advance,
Spencer

Purge them:

Code: [Select]

apt-get purge <package_name>  <package_name>
Reinstall them from the web interface.

if this is the only one solution - this is sucks.

Then perhaps you should consider using something other than linux for your purposes.  I don't think you will find it easier to reinstall packages from scratch than purging and reinstalling.  I showed the command line method.  I leave it as an exercise to the reader to explore the other less direct methods to purge a package.  By the way,  this thread originated in 2010.  Open a new thread rather than digging up a very old one.
