Cant remove Scratch from pi

Fri Jan 24, 2014 12:24 am

I am using a command sudo apt-get remove Scratch and i get the following:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package Scratch

When I do a ls command i can see the Scratch directory. What am i doing wrong that gets the above error?

I am pretty sure it is case sensitive. You need to know the name of the package, not the program. In this case:-

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get remove scratch

That was the problem but I was assuming since the directory was capitalized the command should be also. I was wrong. I removed and reinstalled but it still seems to lock up when I execute. Any suggestions?

So is the actual problem not that you want to remove Scratch, but that you want to use Scratch, and it's not working for you?
