    Hi guys,

    I tried installing the ltmodem-2.6.8-1-686 package, during install with
    apt-get it calls a script that failed. So I'm trying to remove it, and
    it calls a script again, which fails. When I try to apt-get install
    stuff, it tries to remove this package first, and apt-get exits after
    the script fails, so I can't install anything with apt-get.

    How do I purge this package without it calling the script (or
    alternatively, any links to info on how to get this to work would be
    useful too!)? Here's the output:

    theluggage:/home/hansdp# apt-get remove ltmodem-2.6.8-1-686
