Package Problem Stops Apt-Get!
Due to a packaging problem of frozen-bubble-data, apt-get cannot complete an
upgrade. The problematic messages are:
root@debian-rtg:/var/cache/apt/archives# aptitude
(Reading database ... 165888 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace frozen-bubble-data 1.0.0-4

Ack! Something bad happened while installing packages. Trying to recover:
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of frozen-bubble:
frozen-bubble depends on frozen-bubble-data (= 1.0.0-5); however:
Package frozen-bubble-data is not installed.
dpkg: error processing frozen-bubble (--configure):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
frozen-bubble
Press return to continue.
I have not been able to complete an upgrade nor a dist-upgrade cycle for a
period of time. Can someone help me to resolve this packaging problem?
