Hello, I`ve got the very similar problem, however, another packages are installed errorneously. At first, my dpkg didn`t work at all because it couldn`t completely remove gparted app after initial installation.
Following advice I`ve found somewhere to insert "exit 0;" line into the "/var/lib/dpkg/info/APPNAME-postrm", I`ve managed to install some stuff I need. However, now when I run "apt-get install -f", I`ve got the following output: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo apt-get install -f Password: Reading package lists...
