Also of note, rwp and I are both assuming this third party package is
being managed by the Debian package manager, dpkg. If it wasn't, no
dpkg magic is going to help.
Bill: do you have the original installation package? Was it installed
with apt-get, aptitude, downloading a tarball, from the Ubuntu
add-ons, or by some other method?
