On how to fix corrupted apt-get/dpkg:
1. Run: dpkg -l |grep -v -E "^ii"
This will list all packages that are either not in perfectly installed
state; either incompletely installed, or that have config files
remaining behind them after they have been uninstalled (or some other
variant). You can tell them apart by value in first column. (rc =
removed & conf-files; iU = install & unpacked). See listing header
("dpkg -l | head" for detailed meanings).
2. Run: dpkg -P package_name [package_name2] [package_name3 ...]
This will purge those incomplete packages.
Personally, I have removed all listed packages (as they were all related
to broken jre install), and dpkg was running without a problem
afterwards.
