I can confirm this on my system, too. Using Edgy, conglomerate 0.9.1-2ubuntu3 and conglomerate-common 0.9.1-2ubuntu3 I'm getting the same error.
The workaround is to execute: sudo rm -r /usr/share/conglomerate/ sudo rm -r /usr/share/doc/conglomerate Then the conglomerate package can be uninstalled. ** Changed in: conglomerate (Ubuntu) Status: Unconfirmed => Confirmed -- conglomerate cannot be uninstalled https://launchpad.net/bugs/70998 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
