If the package was designed to be removed, there should be a file in the 
directory /var/lib/cobalt/uninstallers, the script there should remove the 
package.  You run this script from a shell.
Most packages from pkgmaster can be removed.  Most packages from pkgmaster 
to fix the system can have Official patch packages installed over them, 
check his site for details.
Most packages from Solarspeed state they can not be uninstalled.  Check 
with his site as to whether any Official patch package can work with his.
The only real answer is to ask the person that provided the third party 
package you installed as to their package.
