Uninstallation of Dr.Web for UNIX Mail Servers Installed from the Repository

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

ALT Linux, PCLinuxOS (apt-rpm);

Mageia, OpenMandriva Lx (urpmi);

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

All commands mentioned below for package uninstallation require superuser (root) 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).

Debian, Mint, Ubuntu (apt)

To uninstall the root meta-package of Dr.Web for UNIX Mail Servers, run the command:

# apt-get remove drweb-mail-servers

If additional dependencies were installed, they will remain in the system. To automatically uninstall all packages that are no longer used, run the following command:

# apt-get autoremove

This command uninstalls all packages that are not used, not only those of Dr.Web for UNIX Mail Servers.

You can also uninstall Dr.Web for UNIX Mail Servers with all dependencies by using the --autoremove option:

# apt-get remove drweb-mail-servers --autoremove

You can also use alternative package managers (for example, Synaptic or aptitude) to uninstall the packages of Dr.Web for UNIX Mail Servers.

On ALT 8 SP the following messages can be displayed in the console during uninstallation of the universal package:

/etc/init.d/drweb-configd: No such file or directory

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