can't remove mgetty-fax

[<debuser@platinum.globe-mart.com>]

I installed mgetty-fax by accident and now want to remove it to use
hylafax instead (which conflicts with it), but when I remove, I get: 

Removing mgetty-fax ...
Stopping Fax Queue Daemon: dpkg: error processing mgetty-fax (--remove):
 subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 1
Fax Queue Daemon not yet configured. Edit /etc/mgetty/faxrunqd.config to
fix.
Errors were encountered while processing:
 mgetty-fax

Is this package broken?  I'm using potato.  How can I remove this package
now? There is no /etc/mgetty/faxrunqd.config file to edit.

Thanks,

Gerry
