I try to uninstall the follow package running the command:

Does anyone know how to get rid of it I want to install a fresh aolserver
version, and I believe I need to clean up the house first!
You are misusing dpkg. It is a low-level interface to the package
management system. You should use something like apt-get, aptitude or
synaptic. You can use something like this:
apt-get remove --purge aolserver4
apt-get install aolserver4
OR
apt-get install --reinstall aolserver4
