apt-get error blocking installation of all packages
 
Hi all,

Code:

gnychis@monster:~$ sudo apt-get install gtkpod
[sudo] password for gnychis:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree     
Reading state information... Done
gtkpod is already the newest version.
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  gtkpod: Depends: libgpod2 but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

gnychis@monster:~$ sudo apt-get -f install

The following extra packages will be installed:
  libgpod2
The following NEW packages will be installed:

Errors were encountered while processing:

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

This error is blocking the installation of all packages, so I would greatly appreciate any help.

Just a shot in the dark. But is /usr/lib/libgpod.so.2.0.0' in use?
(I know, doesn't usually matter...)
Do you have permissions to overwrite?

Did your connection drop?

gtkpod is already the newest version

If you are sure you need a newer version....
perhaps you could try a source install in a random location that won't affect your distro?
