OK, I managed to get it removed!

Whew
sudo gainroot

cd /var/lib/dpkg/
mv status status.bad
cp status-old status

then

apt-get clean
apt-get update
apt-get install zsh

which will hang...close Xterm

Open and sudo gainroot again

dpkg --configure -a

1) Go to /var/lib/dpkg/info
2) edit zsh.postrm. There are two lines in the script that cause problems:
a) remove-shell /bin/zsh
b) remove-shell /usr/bin/zsh

apt-get remove zsh

Did whatever was left in
