[nmglug] removing xprt package

[Tim Emerick]

I'm trying to remove the xprt package from my debian system but I'm having
some issues.  Can anybody shed any light?  I see that there is an error with
XProjectRoot but I don't know what that means and some fairly extensive
googling didn't shed any meaningful results.

TIA

Tim
