My RSS feed reader seems to be acting up recently (after the recent CSSU update, don't know why). Suddenly it deletes my subscribed feeds and takes forever to update. How can I uninstall and then re-install the default RSS feed reader?

Thanks in advance!

There is probably no need to attempt a reinstall.

The first thing to try is to clear out the folder the rss reader uses for storage:

~/.osso_rss_feed_reader

First, take a copy of feedlist.opml from this folder, as it contains your rss feeds. Then delete everything else in it. Then put feedlist.ompl back and

killall osso_rss_feed_reader

Start the RSS reader again and see how you go...

If you uninstall everything related with the *, then those packages that depend from or are named like, will get removed.
BUT: What makes you actually think that installing without that * will actually pull everything related to osso-rss-feed-reader???

So instead of asking here, do a search in the package cache! May that be via FasterApplicationManager or X-Terminal and apt-cache.
Try
Code:
apt-cache search osso-rss-feed-reader
Pick up the package called widget or applet or similiar and you are fine to install it.
