Removing broken packages in Ubuntu

There was an error when I tried to remove a package, so it was left in a broken state. I tried the following: sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq rvm Output: (Reading database ... 41743 files and directories currently installed.) Removing rvm (1.29.3-1) ... bash: rvm: command not found dpkg: error processing package rvm (--purge): subprocess installed pre-removal script returned error exit status 127 Errors were encountered while processing: rvm . sudo dpkg --purge rvm Output: same as above sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite package Output: dpkg: error processing archive rvm (--install): cannot access archive: No such file or directory Errors were encountered while processing: rvm Is there a way to force remove it, ignoring all errors? I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 on WSL.
