"apt-get remove" command doesn't remove installed packages if a package isn't found #17405
Description
Is this a docs issue?
- My issue is about the documentation content or website
Type of issue
Information is incorrect
Description
The docs instruct to remove old versions by running:
sudo apt-get remove docker docker-engine docker.io containerd runc
However, it turns out that if a package isn't found, the command fails entirely:
I'm on Ubuntu 22.04, WSL2.
Location
https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ubuntu/
Suggestion
Perhaps replace the command with something like this:
for pkg in docker docker-engine docker.io containerd runc; do sudo apt-get remove -y $pkg; done
This would remove all packages, regardless of whether packages are known or not.
