I'm having trouble installing/removing a program "bandwidthd". It's now
in a weird state of not being installed or being able to remove.
i've tried to upgrade to get it installed, and I get this;
sudo apt-get upgrade

2 not fully installed or removed.

After this operation, 77.8 kB of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue [Y/n]?
