I'm having an issue with Aptitude that I'm not sure how to correct. I
was having an issue with OpenOffice so I decided the easiest way to
resolve the problem might be to completely remove it, then re-install
it. That is when the problem began. Aptitude hung trying to remove
openoffice.org-writer2latex.

its only instruction has been commented out and shells tend not to like
that. I should have realized that my somewhat vague instructions could
lead to this problem. Anyway, if unopkg does not work anymore for you
then you might as well comment out the entire script from line 2 to the
end and be done with it. (The only purpose of the pre-removal script
seems to be ensuring that unopkg is invoked correctly, but that horse
has left the barn already on your system.)
Thanks Florian. Commenting out 2 thru x lines of the script in fact
worked. I was able to do a aptitude update && aptitude full-upgrade.
Next when I went to add openoffice.org back in, the silly thing hangs
right back at the same package:
