Your best bet is to edit /var/lib/spkg/info/giram-mesa.prerm and take out a -e in the first line (or remove a "set -e" in the script somewhere), which will stop it stopping on errors, meaning that it will merrily plough on even if the world ends :-)
Alternatively, touching /usr/share/doc/giram-mesa/Tutorial might be safer?
That got it - thanks!
