Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

[Koldo J. Garai (koldogarai)]

what can I do? it is really annoying! I cannot uninstall it, and it affects all new actualizations.

Try `dpkg --purge mueller7-dict` in meantime.
