I tried unistalling the package with the following results:
knoppix@bmike1:~$ su
Password:
root@bmike1:/home/knoppix# apt-get remove=20
/var/cache/apt/archives/koffice-i18n-de_1.2.92-1_all.deb
Reading Package Lists... Done

E: Couldn't find package
root@bmike1:/home/knoppix# apt-get remove koffice-i18n-de_1.2.92-1_all.deb
Reading Package Lists... Done

Building Dependency Tree... Done
E: Couldn't find package koffice-i18n-de_1.2.92-1_all.deb
root@bmike1:/home/knoppix#

I then looked at the man pages again and found:
root@bmike1:/home/knoppix# apt-get clean koffice-i18n-de_1.2.92-1_all.deb
But after I ran that re-reunning apt-get upgrade just caused it to run out =
to=20
the web and download  koffice-i18n-de_1.2.92-1_all.deb again. Is it suppose=
d=20
to do that or else what am I doing wrong?
