Never mind, folks. I went back into the messages, yanked out the postrm
file, and commented out the simple mime-update line.
The original installation came from archives I had on another disk. I
expect the problem arose from the method I used for that (dpkg, since I
didn't have a net connection at that point for apt, with no lists, etc).
Oh well... so far the install is moving along nicely (so nice to have a
fast cpu / lotsa RAM!! :)
