debian 1.3 upgrade: my first success with one minor problem

["James D. Freels" <fea@fea.rrd.ornl.gov>]

I just installed the 1.3 upgrade.  I have to say this is the cleanest
major Debian upgrade ever!  This particular machine is only a print
server, and does not have much installed.  Nevertheless, Debian is
getting better all the time!  Many more packages than I will ever
need! 

I did have one minor problem however.  I accidently tried to install
lesstif and lesstif-bin.  lesstif-bin would not install due to errors.
I don't even have X11 installed, so it should have been a
prerequisite.  Anyway, now I can't get rid of the lesstif-bin package.
Here is the error message from

dpkg --remove lesstif-bin

(Reading database ... 11943 files and directories currently installed.)
Removing lesstif-bin ...
dpkg: error processing lesstif-bin (--remove):
 subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 lesstif-bin

If there is not an easy fix for this, I'll post it as a bug.
