Can't remove sendmail with dselect/dpkg

["John Houwen" <slyder@voicenet.com>]

In my original installation, I incorrectly selected sendmail (among 
other things <g>) to be installed.  Upon further investigation, smail 
would appear to be the preferred mail transport device.

However, dselect/dpkg refuses to remove it, or any part of it.  
"smail not installed, cannot remove sendmail"  is part of the error 
message.  Conversely, attempting to install smail generates the same 
type errors..

Can anyone help with this?
