diald stuck in apt cache for a week now

[P Kirk <patrick@enterprise-hr.com>]

Hi all,

a week or so ago I tried installing diald and it failed.  Since then it
keeps failing to get installed.  Does andone know how to flush it out of
the cash and thus allow me to download a more stable version?

I'm running woody.

Details of a recent attempt are below.


enterprise:/home/patrick/bin# apt-get install diald
