This is like, reverse-engineering the Debian package management. It seems that the package, you are having problem with, is *crossplatformui*. so: - Backup the file* /var/lib/dpkg/info/crossplatformui**.postrm* - Edit the file */var/lib/dpkg/info/crossplatformui.postrm* and insert "exit 0" soon after the shebang line. - Run *sudo apt-get -f --purge remove* - *Perform all the steps* (run/debug the backup file) *that the postrm file was meant to do* if you really want to clean up the package. - Move on.. *DISCLAIMER: Follow the steps at your own risk.
