Heyall. I've done something wrong, and now apt-get/kynaptic doesn't want to work with me.
I simply ran apt-get update and apt-get upgrade (after one of the repositories - backports maybe, I forget - went down) and it said mozilla needed to be upgraded. So I tried installing through apt-get and it hangs up. Here's some of the output.
sudo apt-get upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
firefox: Depends: mozilla-firefox but it is not installed
mozilla-mplayer: Depends: mozilla-browser but it is not installed or
mozilla-firefox but it is not installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.
And running apt-get -f install results in
sudo apt-get -f install

The following extra packages will be installed:
mozilla-firefox
Suggested packages:
mozilla-firefox-gnome-support latex-xft-fonts xprt-xprintorg
The following NEW packages will be installed:
mozilla-firefox
0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 0B/8802kB of archives.
After unpacking 24.7MB of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue [Y/n]? y
Preconfiguring packages ...
dpkg: parse error, in file `/var/lib/dpkg/status' near line 19522 package `mozilla-firefox':
missing version
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)
And no matter how I try to remove and install or re-install I get errors. I'm hoping this is something that is easy enough to fix. Help please?! Thanks.
