The problem is the prerm script of this package, which does some apparently strange stuff with a xdg provided by the package([1]). You might want to try removing the file /var/lib/dpkg/wxdesigneru.prerm but I don’t know for sure if this will work. Afterwards, try again with dpkg -P. You might have to manually clean up some .desktop files or icons afterwards, try: find /usr /etc /home /var -name '*wxDesigner*' Best regards, Claudius [1] Contents of debian/prerm: ->->->->->->->->->->->->->->->->->->->->->->->->->->->->->->->->->->->-> #!/bin/bash RPM_INSTALL_PREFIX= export RPM_INSTALL_PREFIX /opt/wxDesigner/xdg-icon-resource uninstall --novendor --size 24 /opt/wxDesigner/wxDesigner.png application-wxDesigner /opt/wxDesigner/xdg-mime uninstall --novendor /opt/wxDesigner/wxDesigner_xdg.xml /opt/wxDesigner/xdg-desktop-menu uninstall --novendor /opt/wxDesigner/wxDesigner.desktop <-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<- -- The best way to keep your friends is not to give them away.
