The package would not set up properly in Edgy, so I have tried to remove and reinstall it as it has requested. It does not work. Could you please let me know how to remove it from my system. I had tried to use a newer release of HAVP from Debian to try and fix it but it did not work either. Here is my terminal output:
clint@themoffatts:~$ sudo dpkg -P havp
dpkg: error processing havp (--purge):
Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should
reinstall it before attempting a removal.
