I have a package installed, matchbox-window-manager. If I try to uninstall it, I get this error:


Removing matchbox-window-manager ...
dpkg (subprocess): unable to execute pre-removal script: Exec format error
dpkg: error processing matchbox-window-manager (--remove):
subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
matchbox-window-managerA similar thing happens when I try to reinstall it. Is there another way I can remove it?
