You may need to run the following:

sudo apt-get install -f
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update

Then re-install the package.

If that does not resolve your issue, please mark the bug as "Confirmed"

[David Anderson (davea42)]

The command set jsalisbury suggested seemed to succeed.

Now running.

So, for me, this is resolved.
