pkg hell with pidentd
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Hi,
I seem to have found a problem when attempting to remove pidentd,
but wanted to run it by the list befor bugging it.
# dpkg -P pidentd
dpkg: error processing pidentd (--purge):
Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should
reinstall it before attempting a removal.
Errors were encountered while processing:
pidentd
So, I attempt to install it:
# apt-get install pidentd

Or... would "dpkg -force-remove-reinstreq pidentd" solve the
problem?
TIA
