broken dependency

[Matthes]

Hello. I have a broken dependency. The package is libsdl-image-1.2-dev. When I try to fix it via synaptic, it says E: libsdl-image1.2-dev: cannot remove `/.' What can I do? Please help me. :)

two ways:

- synaptic: remove/purge every related packages then reinstall them

- nautilus "search" about this package and delete it

but check that the sources are correctly set and that some ppa (if any) dont conflict (mostly oldish): synaptic repo tab

When 'completely remove' it I get the same error. There aren't any other change suggested when I mark it for removal.
How can I search/remove the package via nautilus?
I think that my sources are okay. :)

dpkg-reconfigure lbsdl-image1.2-dev && sudo apt-get remove --purge libsdl-image1.2-dev
output:
Package `lbsdl-image1.2-dev' is not installed and no info is available.
Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files,
and dpkg --contents (= dpkg-deb --contents) to list their contents.
/usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: lbsdl-image1.2-dev is not installed
