how to uninstall mosquitto server

Do you know how it was installed? A good clue is the location of the mosquitto executable. If it is at /usr/sbin/mosquitto then it will have been installed from the package repository. If this is the case, you should be able to refresh your repository with

sudo apt-get update

then upgrade mosquitto using

sudo apt-get upgrade mosquitto

You may also need to add the mosquitto ppa to your repository list if it isn't already there. This can be done using

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mosquitto-dev/mosquitto-ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade mosquitto

If your mosquitto executable is at /usr/local/sbin/mosquitto, it was installed by hand. You should download the mosquitto tarball, extract the archive and then run "make uninstall" from within the new directory. You should then follow the above steps to add the mosquitto repository but use

sudo apt-get install mosquitto

instead of upgrade.
