Cannot uninstall mongodb-org-server

Problem

I am trying to get rid of mongodb-org-server once and for all, but this is rather challenging. No matter what I do, I always end up with the same errors:

    Try to find file var/lib/dpkg/info/mongodb-org-server.prerm and comment/remove a line

    invoke-rc.d mongod stop || exit $?

    where stop command is placed. Then try to get rid of mongodb-org-server again.
