Bug Description
After upgrading to Oneiric with errors(see bug #828759) I have an almost unusable system because apt exits with error every operation.
Whenever I try to install or reinstall packages I get debsums errors and can't perform the operation(see below). Moreover, since installing updates for banshee and firefox, they don't work anymore (they worked in Oneiric before trying to update them) because they freeze on startup and eat %100 CPU!!! (See #830012 for banshee)
