How to remove redmine from ubuntu 12.04

Question

Log:

:/opt/maven$ sudo apt-get -f install redmine-sqlite 
Reading package lists... Done

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 redmine-mysql : Depends: redmine (= 2.2.0+dfsg1-1~precise+1) but 2.1.4+dfsg2-2~precise+2 is to be installed
 redmine-sqlite : Depends: ruby-sqlite3 but it is not going to be installed
                  Depends: redmine (= 2.2.2+dfsg1-1~precise+1) but 2.1.4+dfsg2-2~precise+2 is to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

How do I remove redmine and others causing this problem.

Solution

You can uninstall redmine as described in previous answer but it may not remove everything so I would suggest that you first:

sudo apt-get purge redmine*

This will remove all things redmine from your system. Then to give it a bit of a clean up after it has been removed also run this:

sudo apt-get autoclean

Hope it helps! :)

Welcome to Ask Ubuntu! Redmine 2.x isn't packaged for Ubuntu in the main repositories. Please elaborate more on what sources you used to install these. Provide the output of apt-cache policy redmine* to clarify the current state of your system a bit more. Do this by editing your question.

We can probably close this as a duplicate of How do I resolve unmet dependencies?. rick's answer there directly addresses cases like these where the solution is to remove a package. Some of the other answers to that question may be helpful also.

Probably will work, but please read askubuntu.com/questions/210976/… ; the correct command is sudo apt-get purge "readmine.*". Your command (if there are not files matching readmine* in the current directory) will remove all packages starting with "readmin" --- not "readmine".
