[Debian-sf-users] Stuck with cvs version of sourceforge

[Arnar Birgisson]

Hi yall..

I'm running (a fully functional) Woody installation inside a chroot on
Slackware. Package managers are driving me crazy as usual :oP.

I fetched the HEAD revision from cvs just now and built the debs.. that went
fine. However.. something was left lingering after trying "apt-get install
sourceforge" before (which failed in the ldap postinst script) and this time
the common package went in but postgresql stopped immediately, and I didn't
find any specific info on the error. Then I checked and the old
sourceforge-db-postgresql was still there and now I can't remove it because
it depends on the broken sourceforge-ldap-openldap package.. which can't be
removed (or I don't know dpkg well enough) because the configuration script
bails..

There must be some way to force remove the packages, can anyone help me on
that? What I'd like to do is to remove all sourceforge related packages, and
perhaps even slapd and anything I need to and start all over again with the
cvs version.
