Thanks, it's working now -- "dpkg -r wget" did nothing, but after checking the prerm and postrm scripts in /var/lib/dpkg/info I just nuked them completely, since the actual package was not on the system. This worked just fine, and then I was able to upgrade to 2.0 in minutes using the apt-get method. Now to just solve that "patch manager" problem...
