obsolete package base

[Christopher Ray Martin <crmartin@ee.tamu.edu>]

I notice I have a package installed called "base 1.1.0-14" and it is
considered "obsolete" by dselect. However, "dpkg --remove base" doesn't
work, it says it's an essential package.

Do I need to remove this package? How can I do it?

Thanks, Chris.
