Frozen bubble problem solved
What follows is a log of my failed attempts to deal with the frozen-bubble
package on my system. The dependency problems I was experiencing were
preventing all updates.
If you can piece through this log and gain some insight, my work will be done.
The sequence of the commands was:
apt-get --reinstall install
cat /dev/null >/usr/games/frozen-bubble.wav
apt-get --purge remove frozen-bubble frozen-bubble-data
apt-get -f install
apt-get install frozen-bubble
Google Saves The Day! GSTD!!!

Ack! Something bad happened while installing packages. Trying to recover:
<SNIP...some successful installs>
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of frozen-bubble:
frozen-bubble depends on frozen-bubble-data (= 1.0.0-6); however:
Package frozen-bubble-data is not installed.
dpkg: error processing frozen-bubble (--configure):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
<SNIP...this continues for a few more pages...>
Solution somewhere here!
