Tnx for the help but it doesn't seem to work. It returns error code 1 meaning it thinks that the software is not installed?!

So, if it is somehow vanished from my mobile, it should pop up again in the list of installable applications? But it isn't?!

Details:

when I try this:
Code:
rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/imhere-0.3.prerm
rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/imhere-0.3.postinst
RESULT
for the first 2: "no such file or directory"


Code:
dpkg --purge --force-remove-reinstreq imhere-0.3
RESULT
Code:
Removing imhere-0.3 ...
remove/upgrade not enabled 'remove'
dpkg: error processing imhere-0.3 (--purge):
 subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encounteredwhile processing:
 imhere-0.3

Code:
cd /var/lib/dpkg/info/
ls
RESULT
Code:
imhere-0.3.conffiles
imhere-0.3.list
imhere-0.3.md5sums
imhere-0.3.postinst
imhere-0.3.prerm
So I know the files are there but it even doesn't want to remove them? Weird...
