Public bug reported: I have Ubuntu 9.04 64 bit amd on ext4 file system. i was updating when ubuntu froze, so i restarted. i can't do anything at all with package updates or installation. i've been searching for a solution, but have found nothing so far. if there's any extra info you need, i'm pretty new to linux but i'd like to get everything working fine again so let me know if you need anything
i tried sudo apt-get install -f and this is what i get: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. 10 not fully installed or removed. After this operation, 0B of additional disk space will be used.
