Trying to the update manager, since I have an alert for Bandwidthd it
says:

E: /var/cache/apt/archives/bandwidthd_2.0.1+cvs20050208-11_i386.deb:
subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 2


I cannot update, install or remove this package. It is just there. 

I tried to install the : 
SARGE-bandwidthd_2.0.1_i386.deb

And also download bandwidthd-2.0.1.tgz from their website and same results. 
I had to copy  bandwidthd.conf to /usr/share/doc/bandwidthd/ because it was 
giving errors while installing and that did not help.
