Hi
I ran: apt-get install mediawiki [OK]
i ran: apt-get remove --purge mediawiki [OK]
So far, so good
I then in hind sight did a 'stupid' and removed the leftover folders and files.
Which ones?
When I now run: apt-get install mediawiki
It searches the repository tells me everything is OK and installs nothing.
How do I reinstall?
According to what I can see in the repository, the "mediawiki" package
is just a metapackage. All it contains is a dependency on mediawiki1.7
(or 1.9, depending on your release).
The "leftovere" files you removed probably belong(ed) to mediawiki1.7
(or mediawiki1.9). If you blow that away (apt-get --purge remove ...)
and reinstall it, you might get somewhere...
Hope this helps
