Package: mediatomb-daemon
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks unrelated software
Hello:
After having used mediatomb successfully for some time I decided to uninstall
it. I first purged mediatomb, but then I noticed that mediatomb-common and
mediatomb-daemon were still installed so I tried to uninstall them. I saw an
error which prevented total uninstallation, but it's more easily seen with this
command:
$ LANG=C sudo aptitude purge mediatomb-daemon

Once I have this message I can't install or uninstall anything with aptitude.
I'll try to work out what's happenning and get to a forced solution where
package management works again.
Thanks,
