You have mentioned a password that is needed for uninstallation, but you have
not given any further information to indicate which program is asking for this
password (it may be interchange, for example).
Is interchange installed? Perhaps interchange is blocking the uninstallation
of interchange-ui. Perhaps if you remove interchange, it will also be
possible for interchange-ui to be uninstalled:
sudo aptitude remove interchange interchange-ui
(or
sudo apt-get autoremove interchange interchange-ui
)
In any case, you may have success in removing interchange-ui by following the
steps outlined in this article:
Dealing with troublesome package upgrades or removals
http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/251
In this case, given what you quoted above, you will be looking for the file
interchange-ui.postrm in /var/lib/dpkg/info. (This file tries to stop and
start interchange, beside doing other things, which is why I made the above
interchange-removal suggestion.)
One of these ideas may enable you to remove interchange-ui, but neither will
solve the bug that you have reported. I think that someone who knows more
than I will need to look at it, and any more information you can provide for
them will of course be helpful.
You may already have done so, but if not you may find it useful to read this
article:

I am assigning this bug to interchange, because it looks like there is a
problem that its uninstallation scripts should be able to cope with.
