[brlug-general] I broke apt

I installed dokuwiki... Then I didn't want it, so I removed it. It
said it was gone, but the directory was still there, so I deleted it.
Big mistake. Every time I install anything with apt now, I get this:

Errors were encountered while processing:
 dokuwiki
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
A package failed to install.  Trying to recover:
Setting up dokuwiki (0.0.20050922-4ubuntu1) ...
Not replacing deleted config file /etc/dokuwiki/apache.conf
Could not set mode for /etc/dokuwiki/apache.conf at
/var/lib/dpkg/info/dokuwiki.postinst line 91, <STDIN> line 2.
dpkg: error processing dokuwiki (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
 dokuwiki

What do I do?
