We have not released the APT source of emqx. How do you install emqx with the apt command?

If you are using emqx installed with the dpkg -i command, you need to uninstall emqx using dpkg -r emqx or dpkg -P emqx

afaik they should be equivalent. Apt is a dpkg frontend.

Note
these commands will delete any configs that you have for the repo
like the emqx.config and the certs of the library

dpkg -L emqx 
dpkg -P emqx
dpkg -L emqx
