For some reason, I tried installing this. During the setting up and configuring process, I get hit with this:

Setting up linux-igd (0.cvs20060201-1) ...
External interface not specified in /etc/default/upnpd
invoke-rc.d: initscript upnpd, action "start" failed.
dpkg: error processing linux-igd (--configure):

Errors were encountered while processing:

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Afterwards, I tried reinstalling, which didn't work, and then decided to remove it completely. It won't remove itself though:

dpkg: error while cleaning up:

Though it would be nice to see this package working, I just want to remove it now just so I don't get the same error each time I run apt-get/synaptic/adept whatever.
