unable to delete Mesact 2.1.3 was created by M.adams9093
Hello there, 
I have a problem with my Mesact 2.1.3  when I click to launch the tool, it gives me multiple errors with a message that says to remove and reinstall a new package. The problem I am currently having unable to delete it from the file manager. Every time I right-click on the.deb file and select remove, it won't do anything. my question is how can I delete it from the terminal so I can install the new version 2.1.4. 

thank you

I'm going to assume you are using Debian as you haven't said you are using something else.

sudo apt-get purge package-name

Generally if you right click on a deb file and select "open with gdebi package manager" it will install over the previous version.

This page may of be of help as well.

Looks like you're trying to open an ini file, can you attach that file? I don't get any errors here opening an ini file created with Mesa CT.

You can't delete an installed deb with the file manager, as cornholio said you have to right click on the deb and open with gdebi and select Remove Package.

I have figured out what is causing the error you have an entry in the ini file with no value ie:
DISPLAY = axis < good
TESt < error

In Mesa CT 2.1.4 having a malformed ini file with no value is no longer an error it is ignored.
