Hi
I cleaned out my system with debfoster, but unfortunately the
package "menu" is stuck. I earlier remembered a way to force at
package out with dpkg. But man or google can't make me remember..

	# aptitude purge menu

	Ack!  Something bad happened while installing packages.  		Trying

So can anyone remember that "magic" dpkg command that clears any
defiant package. :-)
