I try to reinstall Beta 2 and get the “Error: A later version is already installed” message.

How can i fix this, which files must be removed to bypass this check?

Thanks for your Help

Subject: can you try this

I would check to see what deb packages you have install using -l option of dpkg

the command below will show you what Notes packages are installed

you should see output similar to below

dpkg -l “ibm-lotus*”

ii ibm-lotus-symp 8.5-20081110.0 IBM Lotus Symphony

you can uninstall all the Notes deb packages in a single command line as in the example below.

sudo dpkg -P ibm-lotus-activities ibm-lotus-cae ibm-lotus-sametime ibm-lotus-symphony ibm-lotus-notes
