stuck with artwiz-cursor

[Stefan Sassenberg <stefan.sassenberg@gmx.de>]

Hello,

I'm cleaning up a debian installation using synaptic and I removed 
(directly or as dependency) artwiz-cursor "completely". Something must 
have gone awry, because there was an error message during post-removal 
(2). Now synaptic tries to remove artwiz-cursor everytime I apply my 
changes and it always fails. I cannot remove artwiz-cursor and I cannot 
reinstall it nor unmark it from removal. Also my attempt with apt-get 
and dpkg on the command line fail. What can I do?

I would accept both, removal or installation as long as the messages stop.

Stefan
