Bug Description
Binary package hint: mldonkey-server
If you install this package from universe repos It breaks apt-get, and you can't remove the package or update any other package on the whole system.
through irc chat i was able to remove the package, thanks to crimsun. by following this procedure.
you have to edit this file. /var/lib/
on line 6, change the 'exit $?' on line 006 to 'true'
then you should be able to sudo dpkg -P mldonkey-server.
also, there is a newer version of this package 1.7.5 so mabey when someone fixes it, having the newer version would be helpful.
thanks.

While this solution does allow you to uninstall the program, it leaves behind some files and folders in the following directories:
/var/lib/dpkg/info/
/etc/init.d/
/home/
