Problem unravaling mixed system
I have been using a Debian unstable/testing mixed system whithc has
turned out to be a bad idea. I have got to the stage where I cant
opt-get anything. I keep on getting
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
I am trying to go back to testing, any help would be greatly apreciated
(and that's putting it mildly).
Below is what happens when I try to uninstall evolution:
