ML Donkey Problem

I tried to install the P2P system "ML Donkey" the other day.  Aptitude 
partially installed it, leaving it half installed.

Removing the half-installed part seems impossible.  Reference the following 
messages from aptitude when trying to purge it.

	root at tilleyrw-desktop:/home/tilleyrw# aptitude
	dpkg: error processing mldonkey-server (--purge):
	 Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should
	 reinstall it before attempting a removal.
	(Reading database ... terminate called after throwing an instance 			
		of 'std::logic_error'
	  what():  basic_string::_S_construct NULL not valid
	Ouch!  Got SIGABRT, dying..
	Aborted

Can someone on the list who is more versed in the ways of aptitude please 
enlighten me?

Thanks, Bob
