Bug Description

My VirtualBox installation disappeared, and upon trying to reinstall (not ose edition) I got this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/aptdaemon/worker.py", line 768, in simulate
    return self._simulate_helper(trans, status_path)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/aptdaemon/worker.py", line 936, in _simulate_helper
    return depends, status, self._cache.required_download, \
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/apt/cache.py", line 218, in required_download
    pm.get_archives(fetcher, self._list, self._records)
SystemError: E:I wasn't able to locate file for the mfc255cwlpr package. This might mean you need to manually fix this package.

This seems unrelated to VirtualBox now...I also get this error:
There seems to be a programming error in aptdaemon, the software that
allows you to install/remove software and to perform other package
management related tasks. Please report this error at
http://launchpad.net/aptdaemon/+filebug and retry.
