I gained root access, and tried to manually remove the program, here is what I got:

/home/user # apt-get remove lockedclock
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
python2.5-pyinotify libfribidi0
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
The following packages will be REMOVED:
lockedclock
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 23 not upgraded.
1 not fully installed or removed.
Need to get 0B of archives.
After unpacking 1049kB disk space will be freed.
Do you want to continue [Y/n]? y
dpkg: error processing lockedclock (--remove):
Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should
reinstall it before attempting a removal.
Errors were encountered while processing:
lockedclock
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

So then I did this:

/home/user # apt-get autoremove lockedclock
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree

The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
python2.5-pyinotify libfribidi0

python2.5-pyinotify

I have quickly reached the threshold of my very limited root and code expertise, meanin non-existant. Some help would be appreciated
