Uninstallation Issue - gcmcore not found (with workaround)

[bbirchman]

My Linux Distro: Ubuntu 22.04.1

This is referring to the following segment in gcm install.md debian package

Running the following commands to install:

sudo dpkg -i <path-to-package>
git-credential-manager configure

The above works as intended.

Running the following commands to uninstall:

git-credential-manager unconfigure
sudo dpkg -r gcmcore

The above results in error message:

dpkg: warning: ignoring request to remove gcmcore which isn't installed

Simple Workaround

Running the following command to check recent dpkg:

grep " install " /var/log/dpkg.log

Look for recently installed gcm package (example for my system):

2022-11-29 13:28:29 install gcm:amd64 <none> 2.0.877

Tried (successfully) to uninstall with new package name:

sudo dpkg -r gcm:amd64

Thank you so much for posting this. Between the various versions and the project renames this was a pain to get uninstalled.
