It may be that the commands that setup the names of a couple of
directories to be removed are broken (I didn't look too closely at
them). The quick fix is to load /var/lib/dpkg/info/cfs.prerm into your
favorite editor, comment out the two lines starting with CRYPT and
CFSFS and replace them with CRYPT=/crypt and CFSFS=/.cfsfs. These are
the default directories used by cfs, if you have changed them to
something else then use those dir names instead.
