Binary package hint: tomboy

I did an upgrade and the system got shut down mid-upgrade. We it rebooted I ran dpkg --configure -a and let it run. At the very end it reported that tomboy had failed to install. I rebooted logged into Gnome and ran a partial upgrade, but tomboy is still reporting it failed to install.

There is no support on such deprecated version; that one has died long time ago.
