I have the exact same problem!

I wanted to install the kompozer html editor ,so I downloaded the .deb package and instead of saving to disk, i checked run and open - during install it reported some error so it never got installed. now, update manager, and EVERY package manager fails every time.

I am planning to do a fresh install of gutsy, since I have not been able to fix it at all. This seems like a serious bug!
