Recientemente, en un momento de frustración con la configuración de phpmyadmin, decidí comenzar desde cero.
Desafortunadamente, durante la fase de desinstalación, se me solicitó la contraseña de root para mysql que no tenía a mano en ese momento. Baste decir que me informó que habría componentes residuales ya que no podría limpiar adecuadamente sus conectores de base de datos.
Cuando llegué a casa, intenté eliminar el paquete a través del aptitude purgecual resultó no ser más potente que aptitude removeen que vio phpmyadmin, intenté eliminarlo y fallé ya que los directorios asociados con el paquete ya se eliminaron de mi intento anterior.
Traté de reinstalar phpmyadmin, pero aptitude simplemente afirmó que no había actualizaciones disponibles y no hizo nada, si hubiera una actualización, probablemente me encontraría con los mismos problemas de todos modos.
En este sentido, procedí a limpiar mysql eliminando la base de datos que usó y limpiándola de las tablas de usuario. Sin embargo, no tengo idea de qué más queda del paquete, o incluso cómo limpiar los ganchos en aptitude.

Tengo un servidor web ejecutándose en php, pero estoy dispuesto a arriesgar el tiempo de inactividad para resolver esto.
