whereami does not uninstall cleanly

After using apt-get to install, then remove whereami, ifup/ifdown reports errors involving missing whereami scripts. Specifically, at the beginning and end of ifup's output:

run-parts: /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/whereami exited with return code 1
/etc/dhcp3/dhclient-exit-hooks.d/whereami: line 28: /usr/sbin/whereami: No such file or directory

Here's a log of the entire process:
