¿Cómo elimino manualmente los paquetes con formato incorrecto?

Traté de instalar typo3 a través del administrador de paquetes apt-get en Ubuntu 13.10 Saucy. Durante la instalación, el paquete typo3-dummy no se pudo configurar y permaneció en estado: medio 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

¿Qué más podría intentar deshacerme de este paquete? Me gustaría evitar una instalación nueva. Ty

EDITAR : el uso de sudo apt-get install -f devuelve el siguiente resultado

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

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Tratar :

sudo vi /var/lib/dpkg/status 

elimine todas las entradas del paquete y guárdelo, luego intente nuevamente

sudo apt-get update

Paso 1, crea un archivo falso:

touch ~/Desktop/test.sh

Paso 2, crea un enlace simbólico:

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

Paso 3, ejecuta autoremove:

sudo apt-get autoremove
