[Cialug] aptitude fails to remove a package

Any advice to remove a package when aptitude fails?  Here's the output:

Removing icedtea-java7-bin ...
update-binfmts: warning: /var/lib/binfmts/jexec does not exist;
nothing to do! update-binfmts: exiting due to previous errors
dpkg: error processing icedtea-java7-bin (--remove):
 subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
 icedtea-java7-bin


How do I find the pre-removal script if I want to modify it so that it
runs successfully?  Or just tell aptitude to ignore the error?

Thanks,
Kendall
