update problem



Hi,

I am using debian sparc/linux unstable. After the last
apt-get update && apt-get upgrade I have following problem.

gnome-session (gnome-panel, gnome-panel-data, gnome-terminal)
wont install or remove anymore.
eg:
 apt-get install gnome-session 
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Sorry, gnome-session is already the newest version.
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0  not upgraded.
2 packages not fully installed or removed.
Need to get 0B/314kB of archives. After unpacking 0B will be used.

Preparing to replace gnome-gv 1.1.94-2 (using
.../gnome-gv_1.1.94-2_sparc.deb) .
..

dpkg: error while cleaning up:

Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/gnome-gv_1.1.94-2_sparc.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

but gnome-session is not installed, as I cannot start gnome anymore.

trying to remove the package gives this error:

 apt-get remove gnome-session
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  gnome-session 
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 0  not upgraded.
2 packages not fully installed or removed.
Need to get 0B/314kB of archives. After unpacking 811kB will be freed.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]

I have tried to remove gnome-gv, ... and all packages dpkg is warning
about, also I have tried to install all the packages - no results.
I also tried to make apt-get -f install - no results.

What I am doing wrong, or how this can be solved?

regards
