Package manager is broken

[maxrpowell]

I just installed brother DCP-350c drivers from here (http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/faq_prn.html#f00090)
When I finished I tried to install a scanner driver from brother.
My package manager is broken.
The page mentioned something about that here (http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/faq_prn.html#f00090)(just a scroll down)
I tried what they said but the manager is still broken.
It gives me this error report:

i cannot use sudo apt-get remove dcp350clpr
