    Could you please try to first reinstall gettext and gtypist by running
    "sudo aptitude update" followed by "sudo aptitude reinstall gettext
    gtypist". This should get the packages in working order. If the
    reinstall works, try to remove the packages again. Post any errors you
    might get.
