I am not having a problem while installing or uninstalling using apt-get ..
the job gets done.. but during this it shows some error.
e.g. i was trying to install traceroute and used the following command..
sudo apt-get install traceroute
and at the end I got the following error...
The following NEW packages will be installed:
traceroute
0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
1 not fully installed or removed.

though traceroute gets installed.. i don't know why is it worrying about daemontools..
this happens all the time i use apt-get..
actually while i was installing some package today.. the system reported a crash while using apt-get..
i don't remember what was it about. but i think this problem has started since then..
