    kpackagekit determined to install package

    I'm a long-time Linux user, but new to Kubuntu and deb package management. In the process of installing 11.04 on my laptop (HP dv5000) and trying to get the Broadcom wireless to work, I attempted to install the b43-legacy package. kpackagekit reported a problem (post-installation script failure, exit status 1).

    Later discovered that this package is not the right one for my wireless card, and eventually got the interface working fine. Now, though, every time I install a new package, another attempt is automatically made to install b43-legacy, with predictable results. I tried a number of approaches suggested in this Forum, but no joy. I guess that somewhere, this package is stuck in a queue of some sort. Anybody know how to remove it?

    I would try.
    Code:
    sudo dpkg --dry-run --remove --pending
    if that looks good, run again without the --dry-run. else
    Code:
    dpkg -h

      dpkg --remove --pending
      did nothing; however,
      dpkg --remove b43-legacy-installer did the trick.

      Thanks for the hint.
