Not sure where to turn to, noob here. Tried to download and install bzr to test out gnome-activity-journal and zeitgeist, but got an error. posted error to launchpad
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bzrtools/+bug/509914
and was directed to workaround
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dpkg/+bug/512096
Below is what the terminal printed out when i got to the second step.
user@laptop:/var/lib/dpkg/info$ sudo apt-get remove --purge bzr
