The post-removal script of artwiz-cursor has two tasks: to remove a
dpkg-diversion and to update the fonts.dir file for "misc". To see where
things go wrong, edit the script /var/lib/dpkg/info/artwiz-cursor.postrm
and change the line

set -e

to

set -ex

Then run "apt-get install -f" and post the output here.
