</span>Hi, Ramen.<br>
<br>
Check that the package is installed and you are not just looking at the<br>
entry for remaining configuration files left after removing it (or it<br>
being removed automatically). It should look something like this:<br>

<br>
If it says "rc" instead of "ii", then the package was removed leaving<br>
its configuration files still installed (i.e. not 'purged').<br>
<br>
The files contained in the package are:<br>

Check to see if any of these files are still present.<br>
<br>
If necessary, re-install the package:<br>
<br>
sudo apt-get --reinstall install bio-linux-themes-v8<br>
