Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: k3d
When I tried to install the k3d package (NOT k3b the burning program, i
keep getting asked that so i thought i'd be clear) i got an error in the
postinst script , and since then apt wants to call the postinst script
before doing anything else, including removing this package. Here's one
attempt at removing it:
$ sudo apt-get remove k3d
