i tried to install ubuntu-lite-desktop...
now whenever i try to do something with apt i get the code below....
also it says i need to do "dpkg --configure -a" but when i try to do that the computer just locks up (usually at configuring bittornado) and i have to turn it off and back on (cant even reboot) so i thought i would try purging the packages it locks up on or try purging ubuntu-lite-desktop but none of these have fixed my problem!! how can i get this package to go away like before i tried to install it??? please help!
