Can't get rid of Brave browser
I have removed and purged this software, but the update manager keeps trying update it anyway and failing, of course. It's really annoying and I don't know how to stop it.
Can anybody help? |
How did you originally install this software?
How did you purge it? What Linux distro and version are you using? At a guess you installed using a package appropriate to your distro and version (e.g. a .deb for Ubuntu or a .rpm for RedHat). You simply deleted files instead of removing the package so your update manager still finds the package in your list of installed packages and prompts to update it. You'd need to remove the package itself to stop that behavior. |
Thanks.
But I figured out what the error was about, and removed the brave entry in etc/apt/sources.list.d/ - after backing it up first, of course :) That fixed it - learn something every day with Linux !! |

backing up, then edit Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly. |

Code:
sudo apt-get install -f You should consider the options presented as a method of fixing the damage done to the "package" in question. I generally run it twice, (once again after 1st run) and any course that produces Code:
Reading package lists... Done Now for the second method of ending the suffering of "trying to update and failing" in a terminal issue: Code:
sudo apt-mark hold <package> Code:
apt-get update Now if you utilize an Code:
apt list --upgradable Don't ever try to 'upgrade' python2 I hope this has helped. |
