Re: [Q] How to remove a broken package
Hi,
I had these exact problems with four of the "arphic" font
packages. Finally filed a bug report against them and got a nice response
from the maintainer.
In order for these things to get installed properly you will need to
install the package xutils. Then I'd guess you could remove them,
too. Hope that works for you.
