Uninstallation of Dr.Web Gateway Security Suite Installed from the Repository

Steps below are for the following OSes (package managers):

Astra Linux, Debian, Mint, Ubuntu (apt);

ALT (apt-rpm);

Mageia, OpenMandriva Lx (urpmi);

Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Fedora, CentOS (yum, dnf);

SUSE Linux (zypper).

All commands mentioned below for package uninstallation require superuser (usually the root user) privileges. To elevate your privileges, use the su command (to change the current user) or the sudo command (to run a command as another user).

Astra Linux, Debian, Mint, Ubuntu (apt)

To uninstall the root meta-package of Dr.Web Gateway Security Suite, run the command:

# apt-get remove drweb-internet-gateways

In this case, other packages that were automatically installed with the root meta-package to resolve its dependencies remain in the system.

To uninstall the root meta-package together with all dependencies, run the command:

# apt-get remove drweb-internet-gateways --autoremove

In this case, all packages (not only those of Dr.Web Gateway Security Suite) that were automatically installed to resolve dependencies of other packages but are no longer used are uninstalled.

If the root meta-package was already uninstalled, to automatically uninstall all unused packages, run the command:

# apt-get autoremove

You can also use alternative package managers (for example, Synaptic or aptitude) to uninstall Dr.Web Gateway Security Suite packages.

ALT (apt-rpm)

To uninstall Dr.Web Gateway Security Suite, use the commands for Debian and Ubuntu OSes (see above).

You can also use alternative package managers (for example, Synaptic or aptitude) to uninstall Dr.Web Gateway Security Suite packages.

These messages do not affect the functioning of the system. The uninstallation procedure is being performed correctly.

Mageia, OpenMandriva Lx (urpme)

To uninstall the root meta-package of Dr.Web Gateway Security Suite, run the command:

# urpme drweb-internet-gateways

In this case, other packages that were automatically installed with the root meta-package to resolve its dependencies remain in the system.

To uninstall the root meta-package together with all dependencies, run the command:

# urpme --auto-orphans drweb-internet-gateways

Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Fedora, CentOS (yum, dnf)

To uninstall all installed Dr.Web packages, run the following command (the * character must be escaped on some OSes: \*):
