Yaws never installed properly and now I can't uninstall or do anything

[Brandon Wirick]

Binary package hint: yaws

I'm using Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS.
I tried installing yaws and four yaws add-ons from Synaptic, but there was an error involving trying to restart yaws. The same error would occur trying to uninstall. I tried a bunch of different things to totally get rid of yaws and restore my system, but I can't figure it out.
