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

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

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 (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 Server Security Suite, run the command:

# apt-get remove drweb-file-servers

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

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

To automatically uninstall all packages that are no longer used, you can also use the command:

# apt-get autoremove

Uninstallation using the apt-get command has the following aspects:

1.The first command uninstalls only the drweb-file-servers package; all other packages that could be automatically installed to resolve dependencies remain in the system.

2.The second command uninstalls all the packages whose name starts with drweb (the standard name prefix for Dr.Web products). This command uninstalls all packages with this prefix, not only those of Dr.Web Server Security Suite.

3.The third command uninstalls all packages that were automatically installed to resolve dependencies of other packages and are no longer necessary (for example, due to their uninstallation). This command uninstalls all packages that are not used, not only those of Dr.Web Server Security Suite.

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

ALT (apt-rpm)

To uninstall Dr.Web Server 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 the product.

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.

Mageia, OpenMandriva Lx (urpme)

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

# urpme drweb-file-servers

If additional dependencies were installed, they will remain in the system.

To uninstall Dr.Web Server Security Suite together with all dependencies, use the --auto-orphans option:

# urpme --auto-orphans drweb-file-servers

You can also use alternative package managers (for example, rpmdrake) to uninstall the packages of Dr.Web Server Security Suite.

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: \*):

# yum remove drweb*

On Fedora 22 and later, it is recommended to use the dnf manager instead of the yum manager, for example:

# dnf remove drweb*

These commands uninstall all packages that name starts with drweb (the standard name prefix of Dr.Web products). Note that all packages with this prefix will be uninstalled, not only those of Dr.Web Server Security Suite.

You can also use alternative package managers (for example, PackageKit or Yumex) to uninstall the packages of Dr.Web Server Security Suite.

SUSE Linux (zypper)

# zypper remove drweb-file-servers

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

# zypper remove drweb*

This command uninstalls all packages whose name starts with drweb (the standard name prefix for Dr.Web products). All packages with this prefix will be uninstalled, not only those of Dr.Web Server Security Suite.

You can also use alternative package managers (for example, YaST) to uninstall the packages of Dr.Web Server Security Suite.
