removeltmodem

[Hans du Plooy <hansdp@sagacit.com>]

Hi guys,

I tried installing the ltmodem-2.6.8-1-686 package, during install with
apt-get it calls a script that failed.  So I'm trying to remove it, and
it calls a script again, which fails.  When I try to apt-get install
stuff, it tries to remove this package first, and apt-get exits after
the script fails, so I can't install anything with apt-get.

How do I purge this package without it calling the script (or
alternatively, any links to info on how to get this to work would be
useful too!)?  Here's the output:

theluggage:/home/hansdp# apt-get remove ltmodem-2.6.8-1-686
