How clean or dirty will my system be after a full deinstall?

0

To deinstall OpenPKG, simply remove the package called ‘openpkg’ in the same way that any other package is removed (/prefix/bin/rpm -e openpkg). If any dependent package exists, OpenPKG will require that it first be removed. Once the deinstallation finishes, the system will return to its initial state. Any exceptions to this rule are due to files manually installed or others inhibiting the removal of the complete file hierarchy. This is desirable due to the preservation of log files, for example. To verify this, an admin can compare the system (by copying files associated to the entry points above) before and after bootstrapping OpenPKG to confirm this (de)installation consistency.
