The reason is:

SCIDIR=`dpkg -L scilab |grep scilab.star`; 

because scilab.star is not in scilab 5.1.1-3.

The sivp package cannot be uninstalled either (for the same reason)!

Removing sivp ...
dpkg: error processing sivp (--purge):
 subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 1
dpkg: error while cleaning up:
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 sivp
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
