Hey,
I was in the middle of installing lastmp and lastfmsubmitd when my laptop froze. I had to reboot, but now I can't do anything with apt, I just get messages like this:
root@maff-laptop:/home/maff# aptitude install lastmp

No apport report written because the error message indicates its a followup error from a previous failure.

I can't uninstall or reinstall any of the affected packages, how do I fix this? :(
Edit: I'm running Crunchbang 9.04, if it helps.
Edit: Alot of faffing about with deleting package stuff manually, apt-get installing and removing, and manually creating config files later, and everything works again. Feel free to close this thread.
