I consulted finch & justinstoller from IRC and they said something evil 
with dpkg and my machine is in a state of un-reinstallable.  justinstoller 
suggested me restore my machine to the previous state, but I don't have a 
easy way to do that.

So I am giving up now and trying "apt-get install puppet".  The 
installation is much easier and it's working now.
