Hi, Every time I do an 'easy_install -U ...' for a package, it installs ok but remain with the old package in site-packages. Is there a way do remove old packages? ex.: $ ls -ltrd /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/Tur* drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 2005-12-07 22:14 /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/TurboGears-0.8a5-py2.4.egg drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 2005-12-17 13:13 /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/TurboGears-0.9a0dev-py2.4.egg $ ls -ltrd /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/setu* drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 2005-11-24 19:08 /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/setuptools-0.6a7-py2.4.egg drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 2005-12-07 21:24 /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/setuptools-0.6a9dev_r41630-py2.4.egg -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 70 2005-12-07 21:24 /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/setuptools.pth

See: http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/EasyInstall#uninstalling-packages This will get better in the 0.7 series, when the "nest" command gets implemented. "nest" will have a variety of subcommands including ones to remove a particular egg and to get rid of unused eggs ("nest rm" and "nest purge"). It will also have commands for commonly-used combinations of easy_install options, as easy_install has grown way too many options at this point.
