Can't remove, purge, unistall mongodb from debian
To avoid that sort of problems you should install software only from native Debian repositories. Unfortunately it is not unusual when sloppy/incompetent 3rd party packages are responsible for such troubles.
To recover try removing file /var/lib/dpkg/info/mongodb-org-server.postinst
before attempting to apt-get purge mongodb
.
Remove all mongodb file inside
/var/lib/dpkg/info/mongodb
And then do
sudo apt purge mongodb-org*
