how to get rid of ucbmpeg-play pkg??

[<kaynjay@igalaxy.net>]

I am totally frustrated. Trying to do a dist-upgrade, first through dselect
and now out at the cmd. line.  Have DL'd all packages, but things screech to
a halt when ucbmpeg-play (which I unsuccessfully tried to remove before)
throws a wrench into the process.

I've tried to use 
dpkg -p(r) --force-remove-reinstreq ucbmpeg-play 
but it fails to get rid of the problem.

This is first on the list in the upgrade process, so I'm stuck.  I tried
reading through theh dpkg options but nothing else seems to fit.

Is there Anyway to get rid of this pesky thing??  I don't see my system
crashing because of it...
