I just solved the problem by following the instructions at the following link: http://askubuntu.com/questions/76070/i-cant-uninstall-ironhide-or-install-any-other-packages
Edited the file /var/lib/dpkg/info/ironhide.postrm
Commented out the lines:
if [ `cat /etc/group |grep ironhide |wc -l` > 0 ]; then
groupdel ironhide
fi
I was then able to successfully run:
$ sudo apt-get remove ironhide
I am having a very difficult time trying to remove ironhide from my system (Ubuntu 11.10).
I have tried removing it before and sometimes leaves my packages in a half broken state. Any help would be much appreciated.
This is the result of removing it in package manager:
