Uninstalling programs?
How can I uninstall a program the most efficient way? So that I get rid of all the man pages etc. too? I'm running debian.

gpt-uninstall
GPT-UNINSTALL(8) User Contributed Perl Documentation GPT-UNINSTALL(8)
NAME
gpt-uninstall - Uninstall any GPT package.
SYNOPSIS
gpt-uninstall [--force --help -name ] pkgname-flavor-pkgtype
DESCRIPTION
gpt-uninstall will uninstall a package from the system.
OPTIONS
-force This will force actions to take place.
-native Use native package manager (Only works with rpm).
pkgname-flavor-pkgtype
Expression describing the packages that should be removed.
-help Print a brief help message and exits.
-man Prints the manual page and exits.
-version
Prints the version of GPT and exits.
EXAMPLES
gpt-uninstall -name=foo
removes all flavors and package types with the name "foo".
gpt-uninstall foo
Also removes all flavors and package types with the name "foo".
gpt-uninstall 'foo-*-*'
A third way of typing the same uninstall. Note the single quotes.
gpt-uninstall '*-noflavor-*'
Remove all of the packages with a 'noflavor' build flavor.
gpt-uninstall '*-*-*'
Remove all packages. Note that files generated by gpt-postinstall will not be removed
BUGS
Currently the flavor check that gpt-uninstall uses only works if the flavor is installed by gpt-build. And so for example:
gpt-uninstall foo-gcc32-*
will not work. The work around is to uninstall the packages individually using something like:
gpt-uninstall -name=foo -flavor=gcc32 -pkgtype=pgm
Or use a wild card for the flavor to uninstall all flavors of the package.
gpt-uninstall foo-*-*
