Can't uninstall Input Remapper 1.4 #591

Greetings - 2 months ago we communicated about my problem using IR. You suggested that I use the beta version. I am now proceeding, after a delay due to the flu and recovery. I have downloaded IR 1.5, but it won't install 'due to a prior version installed' I tried to uninstall 1.4, but it says "Package input-remapper-gtk is a dependancy of the following packages - Input Remapper [1.4.0-1] I deleted a saved IR key mapping and re-booted, but I still get the same message. I have also tried to delete the program folder, but that doesn't work either. Can you help? Thanks

sounds like the ubuntu package, which is split into multiple or something

the package that can be downloaded via the releases section on github is one single package.

maybe this file https://github.com/sezanzeb/input-remapper/blob/main/DEBIAN/control can be extended with

Replaces: input-remapper-gtk, python3-key-mapper, key-mapper

if you do this locally, and then run the instructions from the readme (https://github.com/sezanzeb/input-remapper#ubuntudebian) to create ./dist/input-remapper-1.5.0.deb, it might work.

please report back if it does
