Auf Anglisch? Something about "can't remove audiofile because esound
depends on it" maybe? You can try removing that as well, but other things
(gnome-libs, control-center, xmms, about a dozen others) depend on esound,
so you just end up tumbling down the rabbit hole here.

Isn't there a way to force-remove a package? I thought I'd seen people
mention this, but 'fink --info' doesn't mention it and neither does the
mapage. Seems like if you could forcibly remove the package, then drop in
a replacement, nothing (hopefully) will break in the process.
