Hi,
try:
dpkg --force-remove-reinstreq <package>
>From the manpage:
Remove a package, even if it's
broken and marked to require reinstallation. This
may, for example, cause parts of the package to
remain on the system, which will then be forgotten
by dpkg.

What's the railroad to me ?
I never go to see
Where it ends.
It fills a few hollows,
And makes banks for the swallows,
It sets the sand a-blowing,
And the blackberries a-growing.
(Henry David Thoreau)
