apt-get bug?

[Raymond Scholz <ray-2000@zonix.de>]

Hi!

Yesterday I did the usual (once a week) apt-get update && apt-get -u
upgrade and got the following output:

What does it mean and how can I fix it?  Is the package broken or did
I break apt somehow?  I'm a Debianewbie, so having messed up apt may
be the cause.

Cheers,
