OK, let's be reasonable about this. Not only do I not know how this got
onto this system; I do not find it on any of my dozen other debian
boxen.
I am the one and only person to ever file a bug against this package;
and I do not even want it.
# dpkg -l gnotepad+-help
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold

rH gnotepad+-help 1.2.0-2 gnotepad+ User's Manual
# dpkg -L gnotepad+-help
Package `gnotepad+-help' does not contain any files (!)
At this point, I will be perfectly satisfied when you simply tell me how
to purge ALL files, and to get apt database to know NOTHING about this
package.
Yes, I am willing to do this manually.
What do you think?

Our capacity for understanding is inversely proportional to how much
