[plug] how do I remove certain packages

Sat Jan 7 17:59:49 WST 2006

My mysql database (main one) is possibly hosed as the syslog reports an error opening host.MYI. In the event I have to uninstall and reinstall I do not want to have anything left over from the existing install.  Just rather start fresh.

Please stop your mail client from attaching this crap.

Why are you trying to remove mysql-common if you only need to remove the 
MySQL server? MySQL-common is, as the name would imply, required for 
both the server and client packages.
