Running sid.
I'm trying to purge deskbar-applet:
The following packages will be REMOVED:
deskbar-applet{p}
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 3 to remove and 462 not upgraded.
Need to get 0B of archives. After unpacking 737kB will be freed.

dpkg: error processing deskbar-applet (--purge):
subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
deskbar-applet
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
A package failed to install. Trying to recover:
The installed version is:
pi deskbar-applet 0.8.0-1+b1 keyword-driven
navigational bar for GNOME
apt-cache policy is showing:
Installed: 0.8.0-1+b1
Candidate: 2.14.2-4
So - I'm not convinced that the 0.8 one is from the main repos (seems
quite a version change). Can't recall where I grabbed if from if not though.
Upgrading to 2.14 would cause a lot of packages to update that I just
don't want to take right now.
All I want to do is to get the 0.8 one out of the system.
Not so good on python things - is this as simple as trying to get
deskbar-applet listed for update-python-modules prior to running the
purge? If so - how?
Had a look under /var/lib/python-support - I see a dir for 2.3 and 2.4
and a single file called bytecompiled which has the single line:
/usr/lib/deskbar-applet
Am a bit lost.
