Can't uninstall broken packages on hoary system

[ian]

I'm having a really great apt problem on hoary.
I have a bunch of webmin modules installed from universe, but webmin
itself isn't installed, so those packages are considered broken because
of the missing dependency.  However, I can't remove them or forceably
remove them using synaptic or any other method I've tried from man
apt-get because they have unsatisfied dependencies!   I'm just trying to
get rid of them all together because having them broken stops me from
using apt to install other packages. 

Also, I can't install webmin again, changed some apt-sources, and I'd
like to know how to solve this problem without installing the dependency
for future reference when working on offline systems.

Thanks!
