So 'dpkg --purge dpsyco-base dpsyco-lib' has no effect? That would be
strange. I ask because you might have just tried 'dpkg --purge dpsyco',
which does indeed appear to have been removed, but not the dpsyco
packages it depends on.

That does indeed suggest that it's those packages you need to purge.
