Hey all. I'm using Edgy Eft and the package manager is being stubborn
about removing a package i installed by accident.
Here's the output I've been getting:

Reading state information... Done
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
graphviz-cairo
The following packages will be REMOVED:
graphviz-cairo
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 82 not upgraded.
1 not fully installed or removed.
Need to get 0B of archives.
After unpacking 193kB disk space will be freed.

What do I need to do to get this stubborn package OUT of my system so
I can do updates and other stuff again?
