In the older .deb packages (< v0.6), we had problems in the packaging uninstall scripts that left some files around. Symlinks and such were left hanging. I believe these install/uninstall issues are fixed in any version > v0.6. Unfortunately, the v0.6.0.8 package can't fix the bugs in the v0.5.2 package you have installed.

Btw, we never released an official v0.5 .deb series (an odd number means our develop branch), so you must have built that one by source yourself. Please manually uninstall the v0.5 package (through dpkg --purge), and scan through the /opt/rocm directory to make sure that hipblas looks gone adn all dangling symlinks are removed.

Hello, sorry for not responding right away.

Thanks for the help! The problem went away when I removed some old symbolic links. The package installed correctly.
