[Hai Yi]

hai at aggression:~$ dpkg -S /usr/bin/synergyc
synergy-plus: /usr/bin/synergyc
hai at aggression:~$ dpkg -S /usr/bin/synergys
synergy-plus: /usr/bin/synergys
hai at aggression:~$ dpkg -r synergys
dpkg: requested operation requires superuser privilege
hai at aggression:~$ sudo dpkg -r synergys
[sudo] password for hai:
dpkg: warning: ignoring request to remove synergys which isn't installed.


Thanks,
Hai
