Hi,
I tried your suggestion:
% dpkg -l python25-socket
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed
|/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)
||/ Name Version Description
+++-==============-==============-============================================
pn python25-socke <none> (no description available)
% sudo dpkg -r --force-all
python25-socket
Password:
dpkg - warning: ignoring request to remove python25-socket which isn't
installed.
... but dpkg doesn't quite see it either.
% dpkg -l python25-socket
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed

pn python25-socke <none> (no description available)
% fink list python25

(i) python25-socket 1:2.5.1-3 Obsolete socket plugin for python
... and somehow fink list -o sees it, sort of. Is there some meaning to
it being listed twice?
