Re: Can't get rid of kde...
You might be able to find the problem by taking a look at
/var/lib/dpkg/info/kdebase.postrm (or even running this by hand).
I've had success in similar situations by removing
/var/lib/dpkg/info/<pkgname>* and editing /var/lib/dpkg/info/status to
show that package as:
Status: purge ok not-installed
It's messy but sometimes there isn't an easy way.
