package in a bad way - what to do
Hi,
As has happened sometimes in the past, I've got a package that seems to be
in "trouble," and I can't figure out what to do with it ... since it never
-really- seems to get all the way installed. I'd like to just do away with
it entirely.
The package in question is the MUD server aime. Here is what I'm currently
getting back from apt-get dist-upgrade:
Reading Package Lists...
Building Dependency Tree...
The following packages have been kept back
cygnus-stylesheets filters scilab
1 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 3 not upgraded.
1 packages not fully installed or removed.
Need to get 614kB of archives. After unpacking 4096B will be used.

Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/aime_0.59-3_i386.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Trying to apt-get remove does not help; I downloaded the pkg to another
place and tried to dpkg -i from there and that didn't work either.
Is there a fairly straightforward way to just get this damned thing off my
system? It's probably a simple matter of configuration, but I've got too
much else to futz with now to be futzing with this ...
Any advice would be appreciated.
