[Openinteract-help] removing packages

[Steve S. <ste...@co...>]

I finally got back to some OI work.  So far I like it.  I managed
to install it and start morphing it into the intranet site I want
over the weekend.  Today I started down the package path.  I think 
I did okay until package install time.  After pass one, I realized
a bunch of things I forgot.  Rather than upgrade I tried to remove
then reinstall the existing package.  I followed the instructions 
that describe necessary manual file removal, etc.  On the second 
install I get "already exists in the base installation repository"
errors.  Any idea what I missed?  Or was removal just a bad idea I
should stay away from?

Also, I'm not always 100% clear in the docs on website_dir ... I 
created a base site directory in /usr/local/sites.  I named a site
after that that has a subdirectory.  It appears that for package 
installs I want to reference /usr/local/sites, not /usr/local/sites/XXX,
but I'm not always clear.  I want the current packages to be available
to all sites, even though it will just be one in the short term.

Any help appreciated.
