I did a dist-upgrade from dapper to edgy, and k3d consistently fails during any install/remove/purge operation. apt either tries to configure k3d while installing another package, or fails during a remove/autoremove operation on k3d itself.
This is the output of apt-get remove: ----- >:$ sudo apt-get remove k3d Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required: k3d Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them. The following packages will be REMOVED: k3d 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 3 not upgraded. 1 not fully installed or removed. Need to get 0B of archives.
