Sorry, I don't understand what do you mean by ``snipped'': section 4.7 includes the exact command line to uninstall a package. > I checked that the appropriate .mft files existed, and that they > contained suitable file lists, yet issuing the rm -f @XXX command > did NOT delete the files. Well, can you tell what *.mft files were used and what files were not deleted? > BTW, a very minor point is that "info faq" does not lead to > anything conducive to finding entries by section number refs. The Info reader has a search function. Type "/ 4.7", hit [Enter], and you should be looking at the right section. (If not, hit "/" again.) > Including the section number in the verbiage that appears at the > menu level would fix that. Unfortunately, this is impossible: the menu lists nodes, not sections, while section numbers are generated by the program that creates the Info files, and they number sections.
