I thought it centred around a malware filter I installed a couple of days back, but removing it didn't help. Now I can't reinstall clamav or it's dependencies.

It seems to involve ppp as well. I can still install updates, but I get the 'restart now' message for each and every update.

 Not sure if this helps but this is the error I get with this problem

Just about everything to do with updates is producing error codes, necessitating verification that updates were actually installed.

Today it was flashplugin-installer and spamassassin that were supposedly unconfigured, abut I think they were.

This is getting more serious. Spamassasin is unconfigured as is flashplugin-installer.

Also, the flashpugin-installer won't install properly leaving me without flash in Firefox. Chrome is working likely due to pepperflash

AFAIK this was caused by the proprietary Cisco AnyConnect VPN client I had installed. I unstinatlled it (sudo /opt/cisco/vpn/bin/vpn_uninstall.sh), updraded the packages without a hitch and reinstalled the VPN client. It seems to have worked perfectly.

I never installed this.. I have the Wine PPA as well as pipelight but that's all.
