I just finished giving a demo for a database class, and I was very happy to do this as soon as I was done:
root@kant:~# dpkg -P oracle-xe-universal
(Reading database … 121041 files and directories currently installed.)
Removing oracle-xe-universal …
Purging configuration files for oracle-xe-universal …
