Try using the --force-remove-reinstreq flag too:

remove-reinstreq: Remove a package, even if it's broken and
marked to require reinstallation. This may, for example, cause
parts of the package to remain on the system, which will then be
forgotten by dpkg.

I tried another command, seems to be the right one, and seems like I have advanced one step further, to get the following error instead:


$ sudo dpkg -r --force-remove-reinstreq postgresql-python-py23
dpkg - warning, overriding problem because --force enabled:
 Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should
 reinstall it before attempting a removal.
