I no doubt mistakenly tried to install a package using alien. It didn't install properly but it still shows up as an available package in aptitude (though in a rather broken form). If I try to do anything with it, aptitude crashes.
Is there some way to delete all mention of this package from aptitude? I've tried using forget-unavailable, I've tried clearing the cache, tried using dpkg --forget-unavailable, I've purged aptitude and reinstalled it twice, but still I get this alien package showing up. Can I delete it manually somewhere?
