apt-get/dpkg screwed up.
I get the following error message on my screen after I tried to removed ee
after the installation of ee failed:
----------------------------------------
$ apt-get -f remove ee

ee
E: Sub-process returned an error code (1)
------------------------------------
At one stage I had to remove the man page of ee manually because it caused
any other call to man to fail.
How can I remove this broken package? I have already tried to reinstall
it. It did not work.
