Evenin' all,

A recent dist-upgrade on my sid box sucked in a lot of stuff which I 
didn't want so I have turfed a lot of it out except for 1 package which 
is so settled in it just doesn't want to go away.

On trying to delete it, I get:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo apt-get remove plptools-kde

Is something in the apt database on colossus corrupted?  At least, how 
can I get rid of this thing?  I don't have a Psion PDA, don't wan't a 
Psion PDA, and if this is the way the software to support them 
generally behaves, will never get a bloody Psion PDA.
