New Try dpkg?
apt-get and aptitude (among others) are merely pretty interfaces to the dpkg command.

What happens when you run dpkg --purge dvipdfm?

You have new mail in /var/mail/root

I will stare at the documentation on dpkg after lunch though, and see if I can get somewhere with it by adding more command-line flags.

Thanks,
Ben
