I'd call these "configuration files", and in any case something you don't want to just wipe out out right without a way to restore.
Why do you propose to remove them anyway? apt-get complains about an internal error. Your original response is identical to http://askubuntu.com/a/337795, which someone reported to work for them without the "rm -f". I'd say - try the "sudo dpkg --configure -a" by itself first. Back to the original question - google'ing the error comes up with threads which indicate post-upgrade troubles. Have you gone through a major upgrade recently?
