Comment 2 for bug 64848

I did a dist-upgrade from dapper to edgy, and k3d consistently fails during any install/remove/purge operation. apt either tries to configure k3d while installing another package, or fails during a remove/autoremove operation on k3d itself.

This is the output of apt-get remove:
-----
>:$ sudo apt-get remove k3d
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
  k3d
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  k3d
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 3 not upgraded.
1 not fully installed or removed.
Need to get 0B of archives.
After unpacking 44.5MB disk space will be freed.
Do you want to continue [Y/n]?

I tried a re-install of python-central, but I still get the same result.
