you'll need preface dpkg --remove command sudo:

code:

sudo dpkg --remove --force remove-reinstreq iron

that should take care of it. if package wasn't or installed first time around, might need run:

code:

sudo dpkg -i iron  && sudo dpkg --remove --force remove-reinstreq iron

that correctly install package, allowing removal process know files supposed remove.
