I have a dual boot Toshiba Qosmio "laptop?" that I am upgrading from
Lenny to Squeeze. Everything worked fine (Using Aptitude) until the
installation of netatalk started; a program that I really don't need. I get:

A package failed to install. Trying to recover:
dpkg: error processing netatalk (--configure):
Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should
reinstall it before attempting configuration.
Errors were encountered while processing:
netatalk
Press return to continue.
First /etc/hostname is filled in. When I attempt to reinstall I get the
same type of error and the process aborts. When I try to remove or purge
the application I get the same result. An of course, Aptitude won't
finish the upgrade installation because of this error. I get essentially
the same result with dpkg. How can I get out of this mess. Help!
