Moving backwards with version numbers will undoubtedly wreak havoc on
your box.  A simple 'apt-get remove...' is pretty non-destructive and
it leaves files and folders such as config files which will most likely
confuse older versions.

Try to remove them as root in a terminal, i.e.:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] -s

enter your password and:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] --purge <slimserver> (whatever your package is
called. I think it's 'slimserver')

This is supposed to remove all configuration files as well as the
package itself.

To check if anything is left on your system:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] / -name *slim*

will list everything with 'slim' in the file name.  Remember *nix is
case sensitive so maybe you will want to 'find' *Slim* as well.  Some
of the listed files might not have anything to do with Slimserver so be
careful and make sure the file you are removing is something you want to
remove.
