dpkg: error processing puppetmaster-passenger (--remove):

[Marty Sweet]

Hi Bill,

Have you resolved this issue?
It may be worth giving the following a go:
 $ mv /var/lib/dpkg/info/puppetmaster-passenger.{prerm,prermold}
 $ dpkg --purge --force-all puppetmaster-passenger

Let us know how you get on,
Marty Sweet
