Or, for the safety-conscious:
sudo find /sw -name '*.deb' -exec /bin/rm -- {} \;
Single quotes suppress sh/ksk/bash/ filename expansion.
Full path to known good rm.
'--' prevents rm from mis-interpreting filenames which begin with a
dash.
I usually use /sw/fink as my target directory, which should make things
go a bit quicker (and is less typing than "/sw/fink/debs
/sw/fink/dists").
I've been a Unix hacker for too long,
