Use back up

or look into
/var/backups/*

textutils is essential, so packages don't need to (and shouldn't) depend
on it unless the dependency is versioned.

textutils is essential, so the package doesn't need to declare a
dependency.

Look at the tools in debconf-utils.

Is there a way to get debconf to purge by hand rather than having to wait
for the package to be fixed due to the bug report we submit?

I have experienced similar results when the package archives are incomplete
and/or corrupted. Deleting the first .deb and then downloading it again has
fixed things, even though the files are exactly the same size etc.
In other instances retrying the exactly same command has rectified the
"error"!
Ok, two choices:
1) Open up /var/lib/dpkg/status, and find the package entries for libc6 and
dpkg, then give the full entry (all fields for that package) for each one.
2) Try getting the slink _and_ potato dpkg .deb's, then use dpkg-deb to unpack
them so you can try to get a working dpkg.

Unfortunately I cannot do anything in dpkg other than get the help listings.

When all else fails, do it manually.
After you have hunted down the files in the package (via
/var/lib/dpkg/info/qpage.list, don't forget to check the
../info/qpage.{pre,post}inst scripts for files created or modified),
use a text editor and remove the qpage entries in
/var/lib/dpkg/{status,avail
