On Maverick, I'm trying to force removal as suggested. Does not seem to work.

Do you want to continue [Y/n]? dpkg: sudo: dependency problems, but removing anyway as you requested: ubuntu-minimal depends on sudo. gksu depends on sudo. (Reading database ... 170472 files and directories currently installed.) Removing sudo ... You have asked that the sudo package be removed, but no root password has been set. Without sudo, you may not be able to gain administrative privileges. If you would prefer to access the root account with su(1) or by logging in directly, you must set a root password with "sudo passwd". If you have arranged other means to access the root account, and you are sure this is what you want, you may bypass this check by setting an environment variable (export SUDO_FORCE_REMOVE=yes).
