How can I remove elementary-tweaks?

Question

I installed Tweaks from here, by method described in the README.md.

curl -sL  http://i-hate-farms.github.io/spores/install | sudo bash - 
sudo apt-get install elementary-tweaks

Now I want to delete it, but I can not do it correctly.

Now at work with other packages this error haunts me:

sh: 1: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/switchboard/personal/tweaks/theme-patcher: not found

Answer 1

Reinstalling libglib2.0-0 will fix this error in my case.

sudo apt-get install --reinstall libglib2.0-0 libglib2.0-bin libglib2.0-data

Answer 2

To remove a package use ubuntu software center or

sudo apt-get autoremove elementary-tweaks

To reinstall :

sudo apt-get install --reinstall elementary-tweaks

Answer 3

I can help you get rid of the haunting error.

Remove the line referencing /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99theme-patcher in /var/lib/dpkg/info/elementary-tweaks.list. And then delete the /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99theme-patcher file itself.

It's probably not a perfect solution, maybe the /var/lib/dpkg/info/elementary-tweaks.list file should go away entirely, but I have installed a new version of elementary-tweaks and I don't want to break that one.
