While attempting to purge zope-externaleditor along with other zope packages, an error occurs in the postrm script: dpkg: zope-atcontenttypes: dependency problems, but removing anyway as you request: zope-cmfplone depends on zope-atcontenttypes (>= 1.0); however: Package zope-atcontenttypes is to be removed.

Something bad happened while installing packages. Trying to recover: Press return to continue. Looking at the script, it appears that it is trying to restart zope via the init script whether it exists or not. Perhaps a conditional check as contained in the attached patch would allow this to be handled gracefully.
