    Apt-get problems

    I recently installed Kubuntu and am updating/upgrading all of my stuff. I did an apt-get update and then an apt-get upgrade and I got this error...

    Setting up debtags (1.4+svn20050912-0ubuntu1) ...
    Get:1 http://people.debian.org/~enrico/tags/tags-current.gz
    Get:2 http://people.debian.org/~enrico/tags/vocabulary.gz
    Fetched 6228B in 0s (9812B/s)
    Reading tag data and vocabulary for http://people.debian.org/~enrico/tags/...
    ParserException: /var/cache/debtags/people.debian.org_%7eenrico_tags_vocabulary.gz:1: invalid character `<' expecting `:'. Ignoring source http://people.debian.org/~enrico/tags/
    debtags: ConsistencyCheckException: Unable to use any data source (not even previously cached ones)

    dpkg: error processing debtags (--configure):
    subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
    dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of adept:
    adept depends on debtags; however:
    Package debtags is not configured yet.
    dpkg: error processing adept (--configure):
    dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
    Errors were encountered while processing:
    debtags
    adept
    E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

    I have tried remove, purge and reinstall debtags and adept, but I still get this error. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Try apt-get -f install it should fix the dependency problem of the last failed installation due to dependencies. In your case it is the "debtags".
