I have a problem, I can't update my python-gtk2 because I get this error:

I only get this far because I edited the old
/var/lib/dpkg/info/python-gtk2.prerm and commented out all
update-python-modules -c -i /usr/share/python-support/python-gtk2
and
update-python-modules -c -i python-gtk
but at the end the update still fails (see above).
If I perform as root
# ls -lad /var/lib/python-support/python2.3/pygtk.pth
dr-xrwsrwx 2 17996 34912 49152 1970-01-03 07:36

(weired user, group, permissions, size and date)
and then
# rmdir /var/lib/python-support/python2.3/pygtk.pth
rmdir: /var/lib/python-support/python2.3/pygtk.pth: Operation not permitted
how's about a chown?
# chown -R root. /var/lib/python-support/python2.3/pygtk.pth
chown: changing ownership of

I guess you get the idea, I'm not allowed to perform any operation on
that directory. An "fsck.ext3 -f .." did complete without errors but I
guess it's a relict of my last crash about two weeks ago (my CPU was the
reason not the OS). I also wasn't able to delete the directory from
within knoppix.
I'm very much clueless, any help is appreciated. How can I get rid of
the directory?
[...]
Boot into single-user mode and see if you can remove that directory in
that mode (it probably won't work, but it's worth a shot).
If that shot misses, can you manually move that directory out of the way?
