Please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the following error message:

'E:The package emesene needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.

This happens when I try to install emesene, and after that Im not able to remove, reinstall, or do something with that problem

READY!! HERE ARE THE ANSWER!!! Just Type Exactly this and thats all!

sudo dpkg -r --force-depends --force-remove-reinstreq emesene

You should get this,

dpkg - warning, overriding problem because --force enabled:
Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should
reinstall it before attempting a removal.
(Reading database ...
dpkg: serious warning: files list file for package `emesene' missing, assuming package has no files currently installed.
96090 files and directories currently installed.)
Removing emesene ...

Then open and close the synaptic manager twice and thats all!

What Ubuntu version do you have, and what's the output of 'apt-cache madison emesene' and 'apt-cache policy emesene' ?
