Error upon *all* installations

[ftpvk]

When I installed ubuntu 8.04, I decided to remove several programs that I did not need and while doing it got this error:

Setting up ekiga (2.0.12-0ubuntu2) ...
dpkg: error processing ekiga (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 139
Setting up gnome-mastermind (0.3-1) ...
dpkg: error processing gnome-mastermind (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 139
Setting up sound-juicer (2.22.0-1ubuntu2) ...
dpkg: error processing sound-juicer (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 139
Setting up tomboy (0.10.1-1) ...
dpkg: error processing tomboy (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 139
Errors were encountered while processing:
ekiga
gnome-mastermind
sound-juicer
tomboy
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

They were not deleted, and I always get the same error while installing or removing totally different software no matter if I am using add/remove, synaptic or the sudo apt-get install / remove...

Thanks in advance,

sudo dpkg --configure -a

[ftpvk]

did not work still get the same error

[zvacet]

sudo apt-get -f install

[ftpvk]

unfortunately I still get the 139 script error...
