help, how do you remove old versions of octave?

I tried fink remove bundle-octave362-atlas and that didn't 
remove very much.

I tried (several times, and installed xvfb-run along the 
way; this is the current version of the output):

fink remove --recursive octave362-atlas-x11
Information about 7988 packages read in 0 seconds.
WARNING: communications-oct362 is not installed, skipping.
Fink will attempt to remove --recursive 1 package

I've tried removing packages separately, but that fails, and 
the suggested fix also fails:

How do I get out of this mess?!  Help much appreciated!

And then how do I avoid a new mess when removing octave363?

(The aim is to end up with just octave364 installed.)

many thanks,
