Managed to find a work-around to uninstall it - I have created the
directory /var/run/remote-tty/pid and the uninstall process worked:


r...@frost:/# ls -l /var/run/remote-tty/pid
ls: cannot access /var/run/remote-tty/pid: No such file or directory
r...@frost:/# mkdir -p /var/run/remote-tty/pid
r...@frost:/# apt-get autoremove

Maybe the stop script should check that the pid directory exists before
dying
