Overview

I delete a package using aqua rm <package-name> and doing command -v <package-name> still shows as ${HOME}/.local/share/aquaproj-aqua/bin/<package-name>. But running <package-name> still works as expected which is falling back to the real path where the aqua unmanaged program is located. It's just a nuisance in my case.

How to reproduce

aqua.yaml

Other related code such as local Registry

Executed command and output

$ 

Debug output

$ 

Expected behaviour

aqua-proxy symlinked should be removed from the aqua /bin directory.

Actual behaviour

It's still there but it "re-routed" the package to where the aqua unmanaged program is located in $PATH which is good.

Thank you for your feedback.
This is not a bug but an expected behaviour.
As you said, even if symbolic links are remaining aqua fallback to executable files in PATH.
And you can get paths to them by aqua which command.
We intentionally keep links for lazy install.

I understand your opinion, so one idea is to add a command line option to remove symbolic links.

e.g.

aqua rm --remove-link cli/cli

I don't come up with a good option name.
--remove-link is ambiguous if only symbolic links are removed or both symbolic links and executable files are removed.

Thanks for the reply! Didn't know there's aqua which command, pretty neat.
I'm fine with --remove-link, and I can't think of any possibility where you want to remove link and not the executable file? I usually wrong about things though so 😆

I'm fine even without any new feature added too, maybe a note in the docs about this will also be fine.
Something like:

Removing a package doesn't remove the symbolic link because blablabla, you can remove the file manually if you want.
