can't uninstall diadem from package manager

Hi all,

I'm trying to uninstall diadem from NIPM. Unfortunately it tells me I can't do so without uninstalling VeriStand. I need veristand, and don't wish to uninstall it since it makes no apparent sense why veristand would depend on diadem in any way.

Is there a way to directly uninstall diadem?

Thanks
