Como removo manualmente pacotes malformados?

Tentei instalar o typo3 através do gerenciador de pacotes apt-get no Ubuntu 13.10 Saucy. Durante a instalação, o pacote typo3-dummy não pôde ser configurado e permaneceu no status: semi-instalado

sudo dpkg --purge --force-all typo3-dummy 
(Reading database ... 107326
files and directories currently installed.) Removing typo3-dummy ...
apache2-maintscript-helper invoked from a modified environment. Please
hint required arguments manually dpkg: error processing typo3-dummy
(--purge):  subprocess installed post-removal script returned error
exit status 1 Processing triggers for ureadahead ... Errors were
encountered while processing:  typo3-dummy

O que mais eu poderia tentar livrar-me deste pacote? Eu gostaria de evitar uma instalação nova. Ty

EDIT : using sudo apt-get install -f retorna a seguinte saída

ben@cloudy:/etc$ sudo apt-get install -f

Tentar :

sudo vi /var/lib/dpkg/status 

remova todas as entradas do pacote e salve-as e tente novamente.

sudo apt-get update

Etapa 1, crie um arquivo falso:

touch ~/Desktop/test.sh

Etapa 2, crie o link simbólico:

sudo ln -fs  ~/Desktop/test.sh /usr/share/mysql-common/configure-symlinks

Etapa 3, execute a remoção automática:

sudo apt-get autoremove
