If those pre-remove and post-remove scripts are failing, then lets get
rid of them. They appear to not be needed anyway since the package
never made it onto the system in the first place.
rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/brscan4.prerm /var/lib/dpkg/info/brscan4.postinst
Then try purging the package again
sudo dpkg --purge --force-remove-reinstreq brscan4

I want to get rid of this:
wayne@8-Core:~$ sudo dpkg -C
The following packages are in a *mess* due to serious problems during
installation. They must be reinstalled for them (and any packages
that depend on them) to function properly:
* brscan4 Brother Scanner Driver*
wayne@8-Core:~$ sudo dpkg*-r *brscan4-0.2.4-0.amd64
dpkg: warning: there's no installed package matching
brscan4-0.2.4-0.amd64
wayne@8-Core:~$ sudo dpkg -r brscan4-0.2.4-0.amd64*.deb*
dpkg: error: you must specify packages by their own names, not by
quoting the names of the files they come in
wayne@8-Core:~$ sudo dpkg *-P *brscan4
dpkg: error processing brscan4 (--purge):
Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should
reinstall it before attempting a removal.
Errors were encountered while processing:
brscan4
wayne@8-Core:~$ ls
brscan4-0.2.4-0.amd64

Any Ideas?*
