I once installed a package (pypy) through apt-get but then recklessly decided to delete the pypy directory (/usr/lib/pypy). When I tried to next do the right thing (sudo apt-get remove pypy) I kept getting funny errors from dpkg. It turned out that there was a script (/var/lib/dpkg/info/pypy.prerm) that dpky was using that was confusing it. Removing this script enabled me to clean out the package and then reinstall it properly.
gattach was a handy tool to use for webmail clients like gmail. I couldn't find it anymore, but then from this discussion I found out that gattach is now affixa.
