Issue with Hobbit Client package

[Chris Larson]

Some of my Ubuntu 6.06 systems did not properly install the hobbit-client
package. Ubuntu606-hobbit-client_4.2.0-1_i386.deb is the package that I have
used. Most of the systems work fine, but some did not install the client
properly.

Every time these systems are rebooted, the hobbit client is not configured
and it asks to configure the servers is /etc/default/hobbit-client. This
also occurs when updating packages.

I have been unable to remove the package as I want to upgrade to the
xymon-client. This is the error message:

Any idea how I can remove this client?
