Sometimes, you may want to clean up your Archipel agent installation. Easy Install is cool for installing, but not for uninstalling. You need to do some stuff manually. Here is the procedure

Flush the pth file

  • Open /usr/lib/python2.X/site-packages/easy-install.pth
  • Remove all lines containing archipel word

Cleanup eggs

Launch the command

    rm -rf /usr/lib/python2.X/site-packages/archipel*

(On Ubuntu: rm -rf /usr/local/lib/python2.X/dist-packages/archipel*)

Reinstall the agent

    easy_install archipel-agent

Restart Archipel

    /etc/init.d/archipel restart

All your configuration and virtual machine will be kept, no worries.
