How can you completely uninstall (remove files that belong to a certain package) in Mac OS X? Can this be done using a command in the terminal?
I have installed a .pkg package on my Mac and I am wondering as to how I can uninstall the entire package without using a third party application such as UninstallPKG?
I am wondering whether uninstalling .dmg files also require third party applications or is it possible to uninstall them entering a command in the terminal?

Use this command in terminal for check the list of package and uninstalled your files.
Once you've uninstalled the files, you can remove the receipt with:
After visually inspecting the list of files you can do something like:
Be careful of this last step. The list of directories output by pkgutil --files can include important shared directories like usr, which you don't want to remove.

I'm modifying @karthikeyan's answer, which didn't work for me.
At a command line, use the following to find the desired package name:

To find the package location (the root directory that all file listings will be relative to), use
Use this to list the package's installed files:

Be careful of the next (final) step, which removes directories. The list of directories output by pkgutil --files can include important shared directories like usr, which you don't want to remove. -p causes xargs to prompt for confirmation, but don't get trigger-happy. (You should be safe with rmdir too, because it will only remove empty directories. But some people will need to tweak the command line, so it's better to be clear!)
Once you've uninstalled the files, you can remove the system record of that package:

LarsHLarsHThe concept of PKG uninstallation is not there in OS X. A PKG/MPKG can have certain pre install and post install scripts associated with that. What is done in PKG scripts is always upto the PKG creator. As a layman we cannot go ahead and uninstall a PKG.
But at the same time there are command lines that can do a complete reverse engineering on PKG files. It can extract the scripts and other related information. The links given below will give you some info
There are few uninstall/cleaner apps available on OS X. Most of them do a search in known directories (like /Library/Preferences, /Library/Application Support etc) with the app name/pkg name or bundle identifier. This is one way to do a complete removal.
DMG are not installer files. They are Disk Image files. It can inturn have .apps, pkg, mpkgs, other files etc. What gets installed is the installers inside DMG. DMG has to be mount to read the contents and un-mount when done.
