Hi, none of those worked. It seems to be because it can not remove (--purge)
a package which does not have ant files and when I try to reinstall it apt
tries to configure the packages which need it. I need a way of totally
nuking those packages from apt's list so that it forgets that they even
exist.
This should always work:
dpkg --force-all -P <pkg-name>
Use caution, backup eveything and read the docs first. Try "man dpkg" and
"dpkg --force-help"
