One problem I see is that dbus won't configure because /var/run/dbus doesn't exist, which makes sense if you had a power outage in between unpacking the package and configuring it. Thats a bug anyway, but in the meantime could you try the following to recover:
sudo mkdir /var/run/dbus sudo dpkg --configure -a sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade If you get any more errors, then please attach the contents of /var/log/apt, so we can work out what else is broken (don't post the files inline though).
