I want to uninstall Hexchat and remove it completely so i can install it again, because it's broken. And any ”purge remove or autoremove” does not uninstall it. Some ”config files” are not deleted. Every time i reinstall it, it looks the same (broken). I tried to use answers from similar questions: ”unable to locate package” but i do not understand anything, i am a beginner.Ubuntu 21.04 I used ”apt search HexChat” and i get many lines with the word ”Hirsute„ hexchat/hirsute-updates,now 2.1.... hexchat-common/hirsute-updates,hirsute-updates,now 2.14... What can i do next? I will provide answers with the commands that someone will suggest in Terminal. I need step by step guidance. ”sudo apt-get --purge remove” is not working either. (Hexchat is broken, and if i reinstall it, is still broken) Thank you. /usr/share/applications/io.github.Hexchat.desktop:Name[ca]=HexChat /usr/share/applications/io.github.Hexchat.desktop:Name[cs]=HexChat /usr/share/applications/io.github.Hexchat.desktop:Name[da]=HexChat /usr/share/applications/io.github.Hexchat.desktop:Name[de]=HexChat /usr/share/applications/io.github.Hexchat.desktop:Name[el]=HexChat /usr/share/applications/io.github.Hexchat.desktop:Name[en_GB]=HexChat /usr/share/applications/io.github.Hexchat.desktop:Name[es]=HexChat /usr/share/applications/io.github.Hexchat.desktop:Name[et]=HexChat /usr/share/applications/io.github.Hexchat.desktop:Name[eu]=HexChat /usr/share/applications/io.github.Hexchat.desktop:Name[fi]=HexChat /usr/share/applications/io.github.Hexchat.desktop:Name[fr]=HexChat /usr/share/applications/io.github.Hexchat.desktop:Name[gl]=HexChat /usr/share/applications/io.github.Hexchat.desktop:Name[id]=HexChat /usr/share/applications/io.github.Hexchat.desktop:Name[it]=HexChat /usr/share/applications/io.github.Hexchat.desktop:Name[ja_JP]=HexChat /usr/share/applications/io.github.Hexchat.desktop:Name[lt]=HexChat /usr/share/applications/io.github.Hexchat.desktop:Name[lv]=HexChat /usr/share/applications/io.github.Hexchat.desktop:Name[nb]=HexChat /usr/share/applications/io.github.Hexchat.desktop:Name[pl]=HexChat /usr/share/applications/io.github.Hexchat.desktop:Name[pt]=HexChat /usr/share/applications/io.github.Hexchat.desktop:Name[pt_BR]=HexChat /usr/share/applications/io.github.Hexchat.desktop:Name[ru]=HexChat /usr/share/applications/io.github.Hexchat.desktop:Name[sl]=HexChat /usr/share/applications/io.github.Hexchat.desktop:Name[sq]=HexChat /usr/share/applications/io.github.Hexchat.desktop:Name[sv]=HexChat /usr/share/applications/io.github.Hexchat.desktop:Name[tr]=HexChat /usr/share/applications/io.github.Hexchat.desktop:Name[zh_CN]=HexChat /usr/share/applications/io.github.Hexchat.desktop:Name=HexChat /usr/share/applications/io.github.Hexchat.desktop:Exec=hexchat --existing %U /usr/share/applications/io.github.Hexchat.desktop:Icon=hexchat /usr/share/applications/io.github.Hexchat.desktop:StartupWMClass=Hexchat /usr/share/applications/io.github.Hexchat.desktop:Exec=hexchat --no-auto --no-plugins /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache:x-scheme-handler/irc=io.github.Hexchat.desktop; /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache:x-scheme-handler/ircs=io.github.Hexchat.desktop;

Does this answer your question? [Unable to uninstall package with error "Unable to locate package"](https://askubuntu.com/questions/1078404/unable-to-uninstall-package-with-error-unable-to-locate-package) From the accept4ed answer: *Package names in Ubuntu are case sensitive and pieces of package names are not interpreted by apt to be exact package names.*

Me, too. This annoyance has been present through at least the last couple of major releases of Ubuntu. Error message in Ubuntu Software

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
