If apt breaks and you want it to work again, run "sudo aptitude", press 'g' and then ',' until it no longer tries to remove phpmyadmin. Then press 'g' again.

To work around the issue and remove phpmyadmin:

1. sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow debconf
2. Set the priority to low.
3. sudo apt-get remove phpmyadmin
4. Answer 'no' when asked about dbconfig-common
