Well, everybody thanks for all the advice.
Tom, I only ventilated my mindlessness to question the list before thinking.
Gerry, as dpkg -iR is a correct option and if you would make it safer, 
you can uses --recursive but in my opinion dpkg -ir does nothing as it 
is an impossible combination (but I haven't tried!).
Peter, yes, man and/or info is always your friend (and too often 
forgotten).Many questions wouldn't be asked on this list if this was a 
golden rule in everybody's mind.
Thanks,
Joep
