Same thing happened here with the slapd package: dpkg refused to remove
it, but also to reinstall. I tried about every option:
# dpkg --jump-through-burning-loops -remove slapd
wouldn't work.
I ended up reinstalling the whole damn server and regretted having
migrated it from Slackware in the first place.
(No flame intended here, Ubuntu is great, and Slackware has its quirks
also :o))
