can't install education-language and can't remove it

I get (may be different?):

Errors were encountered while processing:
 education-language
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
A package failed to install. Trying to recover:
Setting up education-language (0.824) ...
/var/lib/dpkg/info/education-language.postinst: line 19: /etc/cdd/cdd.conf: No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing education-language (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 education-language

same problem!

with all of the debian-education packages.
Prevents complete upgrade to hardy.

What can we do to eliminate this problem? I've tried to reinstall education-astronomy through debian-edu packages but it doesn't work!! And I continue with this broken package on my system.

I'm not absolutely shure but i think than i have delete the archive :
var/cache/apt/archive/debian-edu..........
(in root) apt-get update
apt-get upgrade.

You can move the file if you want not delete it.
I can't verify because i have delete the file.

I solved that by removing /etd/cdd/cdd-conf and then reinstalling, via aptitude, education-tasks and education-astronomy.
Best regards.

Removing /etc/cdd/cdd.conf does not functions: dpkg only changes the number of the error from 67 to 64, and telling post-removal script could'nt find some files ("no such file por directory").

The problem seem to be in cdd-dev ; I don't know why, but I found this in /etc/cdd: a folder named med/ and inside, med.conf ; don't ask me what it is for, I forgot (I usually install packages to try them and forget to delete them)...

1. I did something like this, with sudo or not, I forgot; It did not run, and I don't know if this is important!
   cdd-role add med
   cdd-user med rafmav med
   cdd-update-menus med rafmav
   cdd-update-usermenus med rafmav
When I tried to:
    sudo apt-get -f install

2. Thus, I did this:
   sudo mkdir /etc/cdd/education
   sudo cp /etc/cdd/med/med.conf /etc/cdd/education/education.conf
   vim /etc/cdd/education/education.conf
   >change CDDNAME=Deb-Med to CDDNAME=Education
When I tried to:
    sudo apt-get -f install
This is magic, and All the packages education-* depending on cdd have ended their install!

I am tired with all this with cdd-dev and education-* packages... For a while, I will not touch the education-* packages, to remove it or to try it...

Now, I can remove some other packages (impossible to remove network-manager before, etc.) that I could not because of the education-* scripts: always aptitude, synaptic, apt-get, dpkg and others tried to configure these fuc**** files, making these package-managers applications run a lot and several times with no result! I think there is a bug or a mismaking of these package "helpers", because when I want to remove files or applications from my computer, I want them to be removed, no matter for me if they are configured or not! I consider such suc*** acting from softwares like virus !

thanks rafmac!I solved this problem!but I did not add any group or user,I just make a dir,copy and change the conf.and remove education-physics and education-tasks.then everything become usual!
谢谢!
